New to me... 'free range' anything costs twice as much but, usually (not always though) tastes better)

This is were we go Home page | The Well Hung Meat Company online shop

£24 for a chicken is outrageous really... but, they are good.

Of course free range chicken will cost more. If you have ever been to a free-range-chicken-ranch it becomes obvious. When roundup time comes along, the chickens must be herded into the barn. The "Chickenboys" get their lassos and saddle up their ostriches and ride out...
Oh, and whatever you do, do not use the term "fowlboys." The ranch hands are pretty sensitive about that.

The "antibiotic-free" issue is related to the chicken round-up. It has been discovered that sick chickens are easier to catch than well ones. They may start out quick, but soon the coughing and wheezing slows them down. The coughing and wheezing have another benefit in that it makes it easier to find the chickens at night if they have stampeded and knocked down the fences.

Whatever you do, stay away from from the boneless-chicken ranches. Those things guaranteed to give you the heeby-jeebies. Ugh. I was queasy for a week after my visit .<shudders involuntarily>

Chickenboys?

Clint Eastwood would be horrified....

I'll take your advice even though I have no idea what you mean by 'boneless chicken ranches'...
Cue banjoes :)

Maybe that is just an American thing. There are quite a few ways that chicken is packaged for supermarkets, whole chicken, drumsticks only, chicken breasts and others. One of the more common packages contains chicken breasts that have been removed from the bone for those too lazy or pressed for time to do so themselves. That is "boneless chicken." There is even boneless chicken with the skin removed.
(bacon)
For those of us whose minds do not quite work normally, the the naturally occurring question is "where does that meat come from." I, of course immediately picture a bunch of chickens without bones flopping around the henhouse. (bacon)

You see it's funny because.... Oh never mind.

but there are other things they do with bananas - like practice.

Ha...you mean chicken pieces like breast, thighs, legs etc pre-packed in supermarkets...
There will be some ****wits that think that chickens commit hari kari to save us the trouble :)
 
I did the chicken for tea today..I modified the 'beer can' idea by putting 4 lemon halves, mild herbs and butter in the cavity.
Slow roasted in the AGA, turned over and few times so the juices went into the breast meat.
Total 'thumbs up'from the gang and strolling players that happened by. :)
Cheers

You mean they don't? Oh the horror!

If you want to see genetic engineering in action, I have seen packages of chicken (without bacon) but with 3 drumsticks .:shock:
