THANK YOU EVERYONE! OMYGAWD!!!!
I AM CHICKEN EATER HEAR ME ROAR!!!!
I would hate to be these RIR roos that just came!



BTW I added 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups salt to cover two roos in a 5 gal bucket, let them sit in the lower level fridge since Monday like that!!!
Roasted in the brown bag, for 4.5 hrs!

It really is an oh My Gawd Moment isn't it?

That is what chicken is supposed to taste like!

Sally, a 14 wk RIR or Prod Red will not have all that much meat, but it will be at its most tender, and so suitable for fast-hot cooking, like over-the-coals grilling or frying. 20 weeks will give more meat (and flavor!) but also more "tooth." I think I'll fry a couple of mine at 14, buy save the rest til the month they're 20-24 for making canned chicken and canned stock. (And frozen rendered fat lol)

ok so skip the "Hot of Summer" processing and do labor day weekend, BBQ still works for me!!!
