Completely different experience.<br /><br />In my opinion the brining is necessary though! They are so rough and tough to cook.<br /><br />I have not tried ACV, but in theory it does seem like it would work really well! I think I might give it a try next time, or at least half ACV and salt water brine?<br /><br />Thanks for the idea!Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143489710058190187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970153806441842849.post-8939046415565784892014-06-09T18:05:03.517-04:002014-06-09T18:05:03.517-04:00This is the best post i have seen about cooking a ...This is the best post i have seen about cooking a rooster. We raise our own chickens as well and we have few different types of Heritage breed. last year we raised chickens that we hatched ourselves and ended up with about 7-8 roosters. We choose to practice our slaughtering techniques on the roosters. I have a question about brining the rooster. Have you ever brined with apple cider vinegar? My thought is to let the chicken rest in ACV for 24 hours then switch out to a brine for 24 hours. 2 day process, I once worked with a chef that would let his chicken soak in ACV for 24 hours before making fried chicken for family meal. Sadly i never asked him the whole process he did, so i was wondering what your thoughts would be. Haven't found much in my research online. shliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692979349643956810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970153806441842849.post-53364999572546616652014-05-26T14:47:19.626-04:002014-05-26T14:47:19.626-04:00I just butchered my first rooster yesterday.

Most people are not willing to pay the extra price. But if you're looking for gourmet flavor nothing can match the Dorking - I am a bit bias though. You can have a Dorking with enough weight to butcher at 4 months, but they are much heavier in the breast at 6-8 months. They have very dark meat with almost the flavor a pheasant would have. Great foragers - very smart birds.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143489710058190187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970153806441842849.post-65759088692701164482012-11-14T19:27:38.795-05:002012-11-14T19:27:38.795-05:00Hi I have been trying to find some info on raising...Hi I have been trying to find some info on raising heritage birds for meat. Everything online seems to point to NO. From what i have been able to scrape up..i was also thinking Dorking as a choice. I see you have had some experience and i am wondering if you still recommend it. We also raise the classic Cornish Meat Bird but i want to try something else even if it's only small scale.Chez Nous Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858735465498788663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970153806441842849.post-12939615599790502732012-09-26T11:38:45.173-04:002012-09-26T11:38:45.173-04:00I love this!I love this!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227436547518218916noreply@blogger.com
