Crowing
I processed several Ameracauna roosters today and, instead of quartering them or setting them up as roasters, my wife wanted to make ground chicken for chili and nachos. We were using a KitchenAid mixer with a food grinder attachment, medium grind screen. After the first two, I got tired of peeling the tendons out and just started chucking semi frozen boneless parts into the grinder, tendons and all. I figured the tendon bits might add some texture and chewiness.
The processor started to sound like it was working with a load even when it wasn't, so I took it apart and found the tendons were wrapping around the shaft behind the cutter. Popped the thing apart, pried off the knot of tendons, threw them to Luna aka Murder Dog, put it back together and got back to work.
Murder Dog got the leg bones, raw, and my wife's horrible beagle got the wing bones, fat trimmings and other scraps.
Happiness.
What do you all do to get rid of the tendons, if you grind chicken?
