I just wished I searched for THIS thread BEFORE I made dinner tonight
Last summer, we butchered two hens that I busted eating eggs; they turned out super-tough - like, break-your-teeth tough - but I thought it was because I accidentally (way) overcooked them. Today I took out my first chicken (my husband did the last two) and made sure to turn and baste every fifteen minutes or so and watch not to overcook but I got the same result! I have no idea how old my chickens are - I got them all "second-hand". They're at least 2 years old for sure. I'll definitely give the fridge thing a try and check out the link that was posted in one of the posts. Thanks, everyone!
