Well DH was very sooky, I had to do it (expected) and then we left them to hang for a little not realising that you're supposed to put them in the cooler within 20mins - my memory of granddad getting dinner ready (dinner being the noon meal) involved the chook hanging from the line for a bit .. Ah well.
So tonight's tea is free-range chook from woolies ...
Ours hang long enough for the blood to drip and for us to get ready for plucking. Plucking itself can take 20 minutes, then 5 for gutting (I am getting quicker though). Oh how we wish for a plucking machine.
I've been looking at stuff and might give skinning a go? I won't be roasting them so the quick butchering will suit. Ah well, there's 2 more chooks that might be roosters.
