When you process your birds do you brine them? I keep thinking about processing time and when you butcher your birds how long do you soak them and where/how do you do it. I was wondering if we process 5 or 6 at once if we could let them "rest" in the fridge, or do we need to soak in water or put on ice. What do you do?
I would have asked on byc but I would have gotten 50 different answers and started a fight.
I think your method will work well for us. Chad wants to skin them versus pluck because we are going to freeze them in pieces. We never cook a whole bird, seems like we just waste the meat. It ends up going to the chickens to eat.....go figure.
