How to kill a chicken

Well, this post isn't actually that morbid, but I do want you to know that I have NEVER had to work with a chicken in its entire state, before coming to this country. Of course, it's not surprising that we get 100%-whole chickens, considering you see all these bits hanging in street food stalls... One day, I'll have enough courage to dork-ish-ly snap a picture of how weird some of the side-of-the-street food is/looks, just for you, my tender family... :D

1. How sad it looketh:


2. Prepare on cutting board:


3. Remove head and pull poke-y, scrawn-y legs out of, er, belly:


4. Remove legs, then place beside its already-prepped buddy:


5. Spice nicely and bake, covered with foil (to keep it moist) for a few hours.

Yes, dear family of mine, you should be alarmed and slightly disturbed. :D

  1. At least you didn't have to pluck out the feathers and actually kill it, hehe.
