S1E40 From Beak To Butt: Using the WHOLE Chicken

This week I had a friend offer me some roosters for processing. The only thing that he asked for in return when I butchered them were the feet...... and the combs. Now, I was familiar with using chicken feet in cooking. In fact, a few weeks ago, I tried making some stock with the chicken feet. (As you may recall, I botched the attempt.) However, I had never heard of using cockscombs in cooking. Well, it's a thing. Now, we often talk about nose to tail cooking; trying to use as much of pigs and cows as possible. But, sometimes we overlook applying that same approach to chickens. So, I've called today's episode, "From Beak To Butt: Using the WHOLE Chicken". We talk about using everything from the necks to the testicles and pretty much everything in between. Hopefully you find this episode interesting; maybe even inspiring. And hopefully, less of your chicken will go to waste as a result.

Enjoy!

We are a small family farmstead in upstate NY. We raise American Guinea Hogs, meat "mutt" rabbits and a variety of heritage chickens. We also have started raising Cornish Cross broilers.

We have a large garden comprised f raised beds and do a lot of canning and freezing of vegetables. We also do some fermentation as a means of food preservation and introducing natural probiotics into our diet. This YouTube channel is dedicated to our journey towards a more sustainable, healthy and wholesome lifestyle. Who knows what we might try next??!!!!!
