I know that everyone has their favorite chicken. Some swear by ISA Browns, others want BLRW, or Speckled Sussex. I'm bringing about 50+ pounds of my favorite chicken and I'm sure it will be for most of you as well. Today I picked up a dozen chickens that will go into the brine solution tomorrow. Then on Thursdays I'll start the slow and deliberate process of slowly cooking them while judiciously adding just the right amount of applewood smoke that will turn them from mundane to marvelous. It's a slow process that takes from 12 to 14 hours but it is well worth the effort. Two of the birds will be vacuum sealed and given away during our drawing after lunch.
