Smokin.....Oh Yeah !!!

[Bird]

Scotty, that marinade does sound good, but there's one small problem. I haven't had any Jack Daniel's whiskey on hand in 20 years. Before I retired, our home had a wet bar and I kept it pretty well stocked with a little of everything, including black label Jack Daniel's, but nobody I knew drank that stuff, so I think that same bottle sat there for 11 years. And I never even heard of Jack Daniel's mustard.

I do have a bottle of Crown Royal on hand, and regular mustard. Will they substitute OK or not?

Good Evenin Bird,
Yeah that would be fine !

Kathleen and I never drank much Jack Daniels either. Then we took a trip to Nashville back in December and stayed at the Opry Land Hotel, where one of the waitresses talked us into a Jack Daniels sour ! Ummm good, we now stock a bottle in our pantry !

Good Evening Scott,

Bringing up a old thread just makes everyone hungry and wishing they were in your neck of the woods.

Well it was 78 deg. yesterday and 75 today and we talked about cooking out, but didn't, we have been getting ready for the big garden season, we did get our peas in the ground yesterday.

Funny thing though, i took some tractor pictures today and loaded them on my laptop and didn't know my wife had something already on the card, so i just left them on there.

And just turned this thing on 10 minutes ago and looking through the index, i seen this "Smokin....Oh Yeah" going on, well i don't have nothing smokin to show, but the other day it was smelling good.

So this is what Patricia was making the other day.

Good evening Scott,

You talking about chicken, well tomorrow just might be the day

Last summer i put 25 eggs in the incubator and only expected to get about 15 chicks, well all of them hatched.
We already had 22 laying hens and 3 roosters, so add 25 on top and that is too many so here is the plan

We have never done this, but we are going to thin some out

You brought up chicken and I can't quit laughing because when we do this, it will be a first time for us and probably a mess.

But it will taste good when its all over.

*I will post a picture WHEN we do this, but I'll keep the mess out*

(Keep your grill hot and keep it "Smokin......Oh Yeah!!!)

If you've never slaughtered and dressed out your own chickens before, I'd love to be there and see that.

Well Bird,

It WILL be a mess


Now we do process our own deer, squirrel and fish.__but not a chicken

*Could make a video and post it in Countrybynet*

I've done a deer, lots of squirrels and rabbits and even helped my dad dress out calves and hogs, but nothing stinks like a chicken. When I was a kid it wasn't unusual for the family to have to kill 25 to 50 in a day, but I doubt that I'll ever do it again.

Good Evenin Bill and Bird,
Well I have never dressed out any chickens either, but I can tell you I remember my Great Grandmother goin in to the hen house, grabbin a bird and makin quick work of its neck out on the choppin block out behind her house ! Im almost 58 and Im guessin that I was three our four and I can remember it as clear as day !

Darn that chicken was good too but no comparison to my smoked chicken !

Scotty, when you have free range chickens, sometimes just catching one can be quite a chore. When I was a kid I used to wish I had a dog like my grandparents' old English sheepdog named Shep because my grandmother would go out in the yard and point at the chicken she wanted and say, "Git'im, Shep" and that dog would catch that chicken and hold it down with his mouth and paws without hurting it until she'd go take it from him. Of course that was when you only wanted one or two for dinner today. When we had a bunch to do, we'd close the gate in front of the hen house at night, so we'd have them all penned up the next morning.
