Don’t forget the most important ingredient – an old boot. 🙂

– Gonna try the Cowboy Recipe by the way 🙂

Thanks for the tip. I think I went wrong when I tried to roast it. It sounds like it needs moisture and time to get it really tender. I’ll definitely be trying this.

Make sure you put in enough water or the top will be dry. I put in tomato sauce, water, garlic, cumin, chili powder, etc. I couldn’t stay out of it while shredding it, and it made excellent quesadillas!

I really wish you were here to help me eat all 10 roosters! 🙂

Chris,

We’ve always given ours away, too, but we were venturing out this time around because we had so many. Tonight I put the chicken in the pressure cooker and it definitely helped.

Thanks for commenting!

I wore the handkerchief in lieu of the scarf. 🙂 It actually worked out pretty good. When the chickens were flying around trying to get away from us, it kept my hair from getting dirty.

Yes, that lady cracks me up because while she’s talking so softly, she breaks the chickens neck and then pops it off. What?! The scarf was just a little over the top, too. But… it was an informative video. haha
