I think the obvious has not yet been stated.

WTG, YOU, for raising and consuming your own animals which are used for meat. It's something that probably less than 5% of the populus engages in. And even if it is thin, you deserve many gratz.!

all you sweet peeps, thanks for the props! Here is how it went down . . .

He went from this

to this

with cornbread and salad (Prizehead lettuce, Buttercrunch lettuce, Komatsuna greens, and French Breakfast radishes were all fresh, homegrown)

and watermelon

here's my DH eating the delicious fried chicken!

we have 3 super-picky toddlers, so our 3-year-old daughter only wanted cornbread and melon!

our two-year-old daughter only wanted broccoli!

our 1-year-old just wanted cornbread!

BTW, I ate a little of everything. The dinner was a success!

That was a very good read! And your beautiful daughters are growing up eating very healthy, homegrown food. They already know where it all comes from, unlike most of our population.

Miss Prissy, is your Grandmother's Smothered Fried Chicken recipe in the recipe forum? It sounds scrumptious!

Looks like happy mowfulls!

My wife and I this morning were looking at our broilers who are 8 weeks on Wednesday. We haven't had chicken since last November when we last ate one of ours. I think we were drooling a bit.

I have to watch out or 10,000 BYC members will be out at my farm, too.

I think everyone who raises chickens to eat has the same happy smiles when digging in. It just feels "right."

BTW, before doing all this (raising our own meat), my DH was so unsure. After last night, he was totally SOLD on the whole "grow yr own" deal. YAY!

That skinny bugger tasted like heaven.

What an absolutely beautiful dinner....that could grace the cover of any gourmet magazine. And a beautiful family, how lucky they are to have such an enterprising Mom.

By the way, how was the chicken? Would you have cooked it any different after having tasted it?

Good GAWD it was lovely tasting

Here is our recipe:


Kruczek Family Farm's Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Serves 4

2-3 lbs fryer chicken, cut up
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
3 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
vegetable oil (for frying)

Wash chicken pieces thoroughly and pat dry.

Place chicken in a long, shallow glass baking dish.

Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, cover and refrigerate for a least 4 hours, turning once or twice. In a clean plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, chili and onion powders.

Drain chicken and place two or three pieces of chicken in the bag. Shake well to coat evenly.

Repeat until all chicken has been coated with seasoned flour mixture. In a large, heavy skillet (cast iron, if possible), heat about one inch deep of oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking.

Turn heat to medium-low, add large pieces and cover. Cook large pieces together about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown. Remove large pieces, add the small pieces, and cover. Cook them about 20-22 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown.

Drain on a few paper towels. Serve at once.
