When the weather begins to turn cold, stomachs churn for the warmth of soul soups and stews from derivatives of harvest.
Chickens apply here – harvest doesn’t have to be vegetables. The “make-ready” step of gathering the chickens is traditional for this family in Piedmont North Carolina. If the chicken source is not Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Earth Fare; then the more hands the merrier. There is at least an hour of investment to in the sacrifice, defeathering, and dressing of one bird for the next to best part — the cooking part.
If you haven’t figured out the best part yet, it is the eat’in part.
You are invited to dinner!
