utilizing chicken
 

Da leg quarters are on sale this week for .39/lb so I bought 2 sacks or around 8$ worth of chicken. I cut the backs off the thighs and set them aside. cleaned the chunks of fat off and set that aside. Took the lets and thighs separated and put then in 5 meal size bags for me and Peg with leftovers for lunch the next day figured in. The backs went in a bag to be used for crawfish bait. With my 12 set nets on a bad day I'll catch 10 lbs worth more than the chicken I started with. The fat goes in a qt bag for cat fish bait. Enough to run a 25 hook line for a couple baitings or a lot of bank fishing..So not too bad for cheap arsed chicken. I plan to head out for 2 more bags this aafternoon gotta pick up my weekend 18 pack of PBR anyways. Maybe put one bag on the pit and q em up eat what we want and the rest is great in blackeye peas. As in a ole fashoned black eye pea jumbalaya. rio-fev?? is how i say it but like most things cant spell it:)

A country boy can survive....

Sorry I missed da sale.

Chicken is one of the most versitale pieces of meat ther is. Especially for the $. Around spring/summer holidays they almost give it away. I'm not ashamed to stock up while it's cheap. Leg quarters in the freezer is never a bad thing.

Always like how you roll Cap

Yep we keep the freezer stocked with quarters....... i mostly rotisery them

My favorite thing to do with quarters, aside from smothering then in mustard and grilling them, is to turn them into crab meat....

Please explain that last part.

Crabbing

duckman1911 has it right! That's my favorite crab bait.

Hands down my favorite also

They 3.90/10 lb bag at Pigly wigly till Wednesday morning. Went last night after mowing the yard for a qt of beer and 2 more bags.

Crazy how nature do that.

buy ya cheap chicken bring it home and clean it. Cut the back bones from the thighs and use THAT for ya crab bait. Eat the legs and thighs and let the back bones pay for them.

Sounds like more work! For $3.90 I'm tying line straight to them quarters and turning them into 100 crabs, it's like magic

I aint saying ya wrong and if ya can spare the moneygo for it. It's just that I was raised poor and now that I aint working am again poor where money counts. it took me like 10 minutes to cut the back bones off and the legs and thigs I saved will make 5 meals while the back bones will catch all the crab or crawfish we need. tie em on a string or line put em in a net or trap.
