| Post subject: | Small old chicken |
So we bought something called a "small old chicken" at our local Asian market yesterday. It is a very scrawny, small whole chicken. Less than 3 pounds, and nothing "plump" about it. Asher was thinking we could sous vide it with some duck fat. I am wondering if that is going to be enough liquid for this guy or if we should just braise it, like a fricassee. Thanks, --Lisa |

Sounds like a soup chicken to me. But if not, I'd braise the heck out of it and serve it with something saucy. |

I wouldn't SV. I kind of like the soup thought, but I'm sick, so soup sounds good. Amy |

Sounds like a spent layer. Lots of laying breeds are scrawny. So basically, a stewing hen. |
