Pluck 'em or skin 'em?

I figured you'd chime in soon, I know you hate it when folks dare to skin a chicken!

Pluck! Best flavor comes from the skin. Then if you are making a dish that calls for skinless chicken, remove the skins then. That is what I do.

The skins the best part!

i gotta tell ya.. we skinned this weekend and i'm sold out on it! sure i used to pluck but it was hot and we were cranky - we finished in no time flat.

and yes we laughed when we used the hose and blew them up like balloons and yes we realize that we were not practicing gratitude nor grace.. but it was kinda funny

easy easy easy

however - we finished ours mostly on corn so it felt like a waste to get rid of the fat!

oh well.. like i said we were hot and cranky

Skin. Did 15 last week, 15 this week. Half the freezer space, healthier for you, roast parts in covered dish. Have not plucked in 20 years and never looked back. 15 birds. Chop, skin, cut to parts, average about 5 minutes a bird.

How the heck can you do it in 5 minutes per bird?! I'd love to know that technique!
