Frankenstein Chicken Part 1

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I have "successfully" completely de boned and stuffed my first chicken. :woohoo: This was a little more labor intensive than I expected it to be but I think I got it. :laugh: I had to improvise for some items I did not have such as a poultry needle and fine butchers string. For the needle I used a sail makers needle and for the string I separated some heavier butchers string. Worked out great. It took Roberto Bento 8 minutes to de bone the chicken, it took me over 30 minutes. :laugh: After the de boning I stuffed it with Jalapeno, bacon and cheese mashed potatoes and sewed her up. It will go on the Egg This afternoon. :woohoo:

    Kudos man, that had to take some real effort. I'll be curious to see the final results.

    Dr. your stitches are beautiful but the patient doesn't look to responsive. :laugh:

    Is that sail makers needle standard Coast Guard issue? :blink:

    The chicken sounds good. I'll be looking forward to seeing it cooked. I never thought I would like a forum with so many pictures of dead animals on it! :lol:

    When do you retire from the Coast Guard Eddie? Just curious.

    Thanks Gator, Retirement is official Feb 1st but with all the time I have saved up and after all the gimmes I will be done mid October. I guess I will have to go work for a living then. I may go back to school in January but there are a lot of things up in the air. I have applied for a few positions with the state but the economy has a lot of state positions on hold. I still have my own business as well so no matter what I will have something to fall back on.

    I have bought these over in Lafayette Louisianna and the are so good I thought I would try my own. $11. is money well spent for one that is already done. :laugh: They come stuffed with what ever you could think of but the potatoes is one of our favorites. :) Seriously it wasnt too bad, it starts out like a spatchcock and then just cutting out the thigh and leg bones and then the drumbettes on the wings. I always remove the keel bone on my Spatch cocks anyway. :) I guess practice makes perfect. I think I will do another one soon stuffed with crawfish etouffee and rice. :)

    thanks Gator, I just hope that what ever I do gives me as much job satisfaction as what I have done all these years.
