I bought a chicken for a big batch of soup, but it sucks!
It was discounted, but advertised as an "Extra Meat" variety. Don't ever buy one of these!
It is as tough as a wild
. If you have never eaten wild
, imagine chewing bungie chords. It has skin on it four times thicker than normal. It has almost nothing on its wings. I don't know how they built the breasts so big with no action in the wings.
The legs are meaty, but very short and they have wicked ass tendons in them, like a turkey.
I have never seen anything like this. I wonder if it is the result of some form of genetic manipulation of poultry.
Anyway, it made a good soup, but it was a bitch to get it off the bones and it took quite a while to cook to the point of being tender.
Extra Meat? No, fuck that!!! If I need more meat, I will buy two normal chickens, next time.
Oh, it's a Tyson product.
