    My dad built his own plucker using a washing machine tub. One of my nieces wanted roasted chicken for her wedding reception. So the day before the bride, some cousins, Aunts and Uncles along with grandparents processed about 30 chickens that the father of the bride had raised. We took lots of pictures. She celebrated her 8 anniversary this month.

    When I was knee-high to a grasshopper we knew we were having chicken because Granny would be crossing the backyard, heading to the stump, with a chicken tucked under her arm, and an ax in her other hand. Chicken was always eaten on butchering day.

    Thank you for being one of the few homesteaders that bring to us the homestead lifestyle instead of doom & gloom about the world events. Bravo!

    Gizzards are my favorite part! The key is good seasoning AND pressure cooking! Soft and delish. Can’t get enough gizzards.

    I worked on a turkey farm for 20 years & it didn't bother me having turkey sandwiches for lunch, infact I like it, because I knew where it came from, how it was fed, looked after & pressed 😍😍😍😍

    Thank you for your videos. We have been able to learn so much from you. The most important thing I feel like we’ve been able to learn though, is building a community and making sure that you teach other along the way and try to share what you have learned. You have been one of the channels that have inspired us a lot to make CZcams videos and start homesteading. We might not know much now, but we are going to keep learning anyways. Just wanted to thank your family for everything. Thank you and God Bless.

    I use hearts,livers n extra gizzards in my thanksgiving stuffing, cut up fine n most people don’t know its even there usually.
    I was brought up on home grown Rabbits n chickens, dad thought us younger kids were to young to watch or participate. Ordered ur online class, but yet to watch it all, looks pretty simple n easy.

    Fried gizzards are very yummy? No one wants to eat them at my house but me. They have never tried them, so I don't say much, and enjoy them all by myself. Yum! Try them you'll love them. We enjoy your show so much. Keep up the good work. 😎😂😘🤗😇👍💙

    I can remember my MIL say, "this chicken was a miracle from God because it did not have a gizzard." LOL. That was because she ate it as soon as she fried it. Everyone in the family ate them but me. I still don't. Great that you offer these work shops for folks to learn how.
    Pretty soon you will have educated everyone. Have a Blessed day.

  • @drobaya4078
    @drobaya4078 Před 2 lety +2

    gizzards are tougher than hearts and livers, so it takes longer to cook. Keep this in mind. Usually here we cook them together and everyone has a preference 😂
    Boiling them when you make chicken broth is the easiest way, but I prefer other recipes.

    @DEER_HUNTER48429 Před 2 lety +10

    First off, I was floored When you said, You have never eaten any of the gizzards Before, what did you do with those? Pressure cook them at 15 pounds for thirty minutes with salt and pepper and garlic powder , to Tenderize them. Then you can batter (Drakes Mix) them and deep-fry them , when you pull them from the fryer sprinkle Cajun Seasoning Over them and Eat them. Delicious!!!!!!!

    Love chicken livers. Only two per chicken. Everyone else made faces about them. So I was real quiet about loving them, and promptly nabbed them burning my hands to eat, in the kitchen. Noticed my mom did the same thing with the gizzards. Both of us with secretive smiles. :)
    Thanks for the plucker info, and demo. Usually you only see someone with one, the other, or homemade. Difficult to compare them.

    My favorite parts of a chicken are the wings, the necks and the feet! Weird, eh? I used to love eating the gizzards but once as a child I bit into one that wasn't properly cleaned. Never touched another gizzard! I can imagine that homegrown chicken tastes awesome!

    Funny that you said that about eating chicken on butchering day: We live in the city and can't butcher out chickens or the cops would be called, this is a safe haven for birds. But, when we fish, come home and clean the fish, I will not eat fish for supper. It would be an overload of smells and emotins.

  • @briankubik4252
    @briankubik4252 Před 2 lety

    Do you soak in a brine? After we process we soak our chickens in a salt brine we noticed it softens the meat probably removes blood?, Reminds me of Asian culture hanging chickens so blood drops out of them, also meat butchers hang meat to tenderize the meat. So any ways it also takes away that somewhat type of wild bird taste makes it like store bought flavor. Just wondering?

    I think the next time if I get any other animals on my land I think I would just stick to the chickens because they’re much easier to harvest and handle for harvesting. I have pigs and my pigs are over 1500 pounds. I have sold about seven of them but I have one pig no one wants to take. So he’ll have to be harvested but the problem is I don’t have any way to harvest 1500pound pig. can anyone assist me
