I baked the first chicken I processed today for dinner. 300F for 2 hours, with a rub of butter, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper, garlic powder. Differences are subtle, but wow it's eye opening. I really understand what people mean now about the texture being firmer. It isn't tough in the slighest, it was juicy and tender. I always make gravy with the drippings, and made the best gravy I have ever made! Usually with the store bought chicken, the gravy ends up with a bitterness that I have always lamented as I lack the culinary knowledge to counteract it. This gravy had none of that bitterness, it was amazing.

He ended up sitting in the fridge for around 72 hours. I hadn't planned on so long, and only plan on 48 in future.

Way to go Cora! Glad you enjoyed dinner! So satisfying, isn't it.

The meaties below were processed by hubby and me today. In this picture they were 7 weeks old. Today they were a day shy of 8 weeks old. They dressed out at 5.5 lbs for the 2 hens and 7-7.5 lbs for the 4 Roos. Fed Fermented Feed and I swear I used only 1/2 the amount of feed I normally go through when I used to use dry! Best looking meaties I've ever raised!

ISnt it an amzing flavor-- a totally different meal htan store cornishx. Gravy is my favorite part of a meal-- and I like that of the home grown bwtter , too. Seems to be less of it though-- maybe because the carcass is not injected with salt solution.

No harm in letting it rest longer . . .
