Best Chicken Salad with Grapes - The Hillbilly Kitchen
Paw always managed to disappear whenever there was a chicken that needed to be killed, plucked and cleaned so naturally it always fell on granny to have to do it.
Paw was a hard worker but he said that plucking chickens hurt his arthritic hands and he couldn't do it. All the years I knew him, I never knew of him to have arthritis anywhere in his body except when it was time to kill a chicken. I believe that Paw just hated to harm an animal, especially one he had fed and cared for.
Paw was like that with people too. He never whipped any of his kids when they were little, so that task fell on granny as well. Granny didn't mind taking a switch to your behind though.
I can remember a time when granny insisted that paw kill a chicken because she didn't feel well. Paw resisted her request but granny got downright hateful about it so Paw relented and promised her a chicken for supper.
I saw Paw take granny's butcher knife and head for the chicken coop. He was gone for the longest time and then he finally emerged holding a nicely plucked, headless chicken by it's legs.
I was a curious kid and I ran to the chicken coop to see which one of the chickens gave it's life to feed us. To my surprise, all eight of them were still there. I counted again to make sure I hadn't been mistaken. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. I was really confused. Was there more chickens than I thought there was in the first place?
I ran in the house to question Paw about the extra chicken and as soon as I entered the kitchen I got my answer. Paw sat the chicken on the counter for granny to cook and went back to work in his barn. On the side of the chicken I saw a purple stamp that read; U.S.D.A.
Paw had slipped off quietly and got a store bought chicken from Dowdy's food section. He just couldn't bring himself to hurt a chicken, he would rather go hungry. I'm sure that granny saw the purple stamp too, but she never said anything to Paw or anyone else about it. She cooked it up and she used a portion of it to make chicken salad, just like the kind in this recipe.
