Fowl most foul
turned into treats. Five sky rats rendered into jerky. Used High Country Smoky Blend Jerky Cure and 14 hours in a dehydrator. Vacuum sealed after cooling.
Our 4 ways of getting these past our teeth
1. The breasts are easily sliced into 1/4 inch jerky strips while partially frozen.
2. Grind the breasts and add ground bacon for burgers. Bacon grinds best when frozen.
3. Chunk them up for stews or pies (anything with gravy to keep the meat moist).
4. If I want a chewy meal I fry up the legs/thighs/hearts after a bath in an olive oil/salt/pepper/garlic powder mixture. And then give them another bath in Franks hot sauce and throw them back on the fire for a couple more minutes.
