Oregonian Organic Free Range Chicken Quarters!!
« Reply #-1 on: July 25, 2014, 11:07:04 AM »
Had the pleasure of meeting SmokinKat when I delivered my MAK 2 Star to Dallas Oregon for an upgrade.  I want to thank Kat for sharing one of her chickens, eggs, and duck eggs too with us.  She offered us Rabbit and Goat's milk but being a wuss I declined the later.  Last time I ate Bugs Bunny was in the 1950s when I lived in France and I've never had Goat's milk but it's my understanding that it's really good.

So I defrost what I thought was a 2 chicken halves but instead turned out to be 2 quarters.  Man oh Man ... I would have hated to run up against this monster in a dark alley!!  :D :D ... this picture does not do these quarters justice - they were humongous  ???



Fired up my Davy Crockett and some curious campers wondering what I was cooking with mosied over for a look-see.  When I showed them the quarters they thought they were turkey legs.  These beauties, I swear, were the size of Tri-Tips - Lordy Lordy what a feast.  Unlike store bought quarters these were extremely lean and tasted fantastic!





I shared a leg with another Camp Host and SWMBO and I shared a thigh.  When I gave the leg to our friend he too thought it was a turkey leg.  We have enough chicken left from the other quarter that I'm going to use my wok and have some chicken stir fry tonight  :P  :P



Thanks again Kat for your generosity ...  The chicken was scrumptious!!

Those are some great looking quarters - not only large and plump, but perfectly cooked!

You did those proud, Pete!!    :P

Believe it or not, those weren't even the biggest out of the bunch!  It was kind of frustrating, honestly, because the darn birds were too big for the 11" vacuum bags I'd planned on packing them in-- ended up doing a lot more cutting up than I expected!  :)  But our freezer is full and happy for sure!  :)
