Thankyou, i will try and see what other recipes i can find. But thats sounds deliciousI'm not aware of any one thread that covers all this, maybe someone else is. There ae a lot of recipes scattered in the threads in this forum section but I don't know a good way to find them.
The way I cook a 16 to 23 week old cockerel or an 8 month old pullet is to cut them into parts and rinse the meat. I don't dry the meat but don't add any water to the dish either. I coat the meat in herbs, I usually use oregano and basil but sometimes use thyme or parsley. You can add garlic or onion if you wish. There are no set rules on how you flavor it. I bake it in a tightly covered dish in the oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3 hours. The dish needs to have a tight cover so the moisture does not evaporate and let it burn.
When you are finished carefully remove the meat with a slotted spoon. Be careful because the meat is so tender it might fall off the bone. Use a slotted spoon because you probably have about a half cup of liquid in the bottom. If you remove the fat from it that liquid is about the best chicken broth yo have ever tasted.
