I bought a fresh chicken from the local farmer

Do you have a dog?

I have fish.

Lmao

looks like that chicken is high af nibba

Heart, liver, and gizzard are what some people consider edible, but I would just give the entrails to your disposal mechanism of choice.

Cut off the head. KEEP THE NECK THAT'S FOR STOCK.

Either make some gravy or chicken broth.

How are your butchering skills? If they're shot its best to just clean it and roast it

Pretty good. I just dug my hands in there to get rid of the entrails.

Has anyone seen my pet chicken, Mr. Cluckers?

Rule 1

Never name your food.

I wish MLP wasn't globally banned
>PUT YOUR DICK IN IT!

beef bourguignon is better than coq au vin

im looking at that pic trying to figure out how the chicken was killed. usually their heads are cut off, right? was this one strangled or something?

You can either break their neck or slice it and let them delicious blood flow and kill it. I would go with the Second since the neck skin has being ruptured
Too bad OP does not have a whole cow in his counter right now

interesting. so you cut the throat and let them run around until they die? that seems like fun. i wanna be a farmer now.

Why do people sell things like this with the head still on? They've already cleaned and dressed it, how much more difficult is it to chop off the head? I lived in France for awhile and they almost always sold whole rabbit with the head still on; do people actually do anything with the heads? (Fish is obviously different.)

is he ok?

I get rabbits and chickens with the heads on sometimes and i'll chase my daughter around the house with it yelling 'im coming to get you!'', i don't think she likes it much, but she'll have fond memories when she's older.

sleep tight chicker

Its 2017 and she will probably sue you when she hits college

Eat the head

yeah he's just sleeping

You hang them upside down, cut their troats and then they die. Leaving them to run around would be kind of messy.
Still, the best method is the one my grandmother used:
>Take live chicken from the neck
>Spin it around once of twice, emphasis in the downstroke
>Now you have a chicken with a broken neck
After thay you hang it, put a bowl under it and cut its head to drain the blood

Chuckled

According to my relatives the most common way to kill a chicken on my great grandparents' farm was to grab it by the neck, just under the head, and crack it like a whip to break and neck.

Fresh? That looks dead to me :/

Implying she'll have the money

My grandmother:
>take live chicken by neck
>spin it around
>neck breaks
>she keep spinning
>body flies off head, arc of blood paints the ground
>she cackles like a madwoman and takes it inside to fry up
They were made of stern stuff back then.

I have heard people do that to geese, but a little differently. They grab the neck under the head and swing it in a circle

I tried this with a pigeon once, its body fell off and I was left holding the head.

my family always just did the classic quick axe decapitation

beatiful pic user, will have to try it one day

Seems so time consuming but so simple. Fuck. I need to make this next.

Deep fry it then post pic to KFC Twitter and complain

use the wings to cook other land creatures

How is it ?

bake the chicken and make a broth with the rest

If you tried chicken feet, the meat is like that.

The brain is good tho.

>she cackles like a madwoman and takes it inside to fry up
Based grandma lmao

Turn it into a new epic meme.

>ebin
Go back.

You're just jealous.

OC son

reddit is better than Veeky Forums now.

I still understood that reference.

Always has been.

Hi OP, I already gave your answer, see

2 gams of like dank

>They were made of stern stuff back then.
My grand father used to punch rabbits in the head to kill them in one hit. He had a mean jab.

He also seemed to enjoy himself very much when he had to kill 20+ in a row to go sell them to neighbours or others.

Thank God for the digital revolution.

Make some Hainanese chicken rice, personal favorite. Especially good if the chicken is very fresh.

Thank God for betas

In places where heirloom breeds are a thing having the head on the bird lets you recognise the breed you are paying for. The clarity of the eyes the freshness and the tinge in the wattles the health of the bird.
