I picked up 3 chickens today from a friend that was sold Cornish Cross for laying hens. They were huge at 7 weeks and it was cruel to keep them alive any longer. After taking care of that today I made dinner and did not want to look at chicken on my plate. I cooked up some mushroom rabbit and when I had it simmering I thought it looked like it was not enough. The 14 year old is eating a lot lately, so I added some of the chicken to the pot.
This is the first time I have had both in the same dish. Rabbit is so much nicer. I am not sure that the chicken needed to rest like rabbit but the flavor of the rabbit was just better. Yum.
Ps. Chickens are so nasty! I get the whole meaning of the word and use of FOWL..this was my first butcher and I am definalely sticking with laying hens and rabbits for meat. I still smell them. I think it is stuck in my nose. :razz2:
