I think I'll try it next time and see if I can tell the difference.

Only piece of advice I can pass - make killing cones from 1 gal milk jugs. Cut the whole bottom off and enlarge the pouring neck. Attach a coat hanger to opposite sides of the bottom. We cut the whole head off then hung them up to drain. Cheap cones. Someday I will tell you about Stan taking the chicken "guts" to the dumpster and why it took him so long!<br>How big are these birds? They look huge.<br>I also did not know about refrigerating the birds - but it makes sense.<br>Happy eating!! Maybe you should do a few turkeys next year!!<br>Love you guys - -Sue Ritternoreply@blogger.com
