At a local supermarket. The legs are getting grilled over hickory
wood. The thighs will be used for a most excellent stock.

Wait until you open that bag up. Sometimes you get a good bag,
but usually those are from odd-sized chickens and aren't cut very
evenly. I call them scrap. I still buy 'em though. You can find
a lot of presentable pieces, but they're not commercial quality
Grade A by any means.

Okay figured it out. But when I first read the subject line, I thought you
were talking about a 10 lb chicken leg. That would be ostrich, or maybe a
pterodactyl.

They're always assorted sizes, but mostly really large. They are from
old birds, egg layers, but that's OK because dark meat doesn't really
get that tough with age, and they taste every bit as good. It smells
really good in here right now.

Thanks... ;-)

Somehow I think the plane fare from central Texas would not make it a
heckuva deal. <lol>

Chicken breasts are $1/lb at 3 HEB's I visited yesterday. That
is, if you can accept fresh instead of frozen ;-)

Hee! Yeah, as long as they are whole and not boneless/skinless...

I'll czech them out, thanks! I made freezer space the other day but I
need to watch it.

29 cents at Dierbergs in lesser quantities than 10 pounds. Most of the
packages I saw were 3-4 pounds; a big mound of chicken quarters for $1 is a
good deal if you can't handle 10 pounds at a time.

They are normally packed in #10 bags around here.
They freeze well. :-)

I used to find the occasional 10 pounds / $1.90 sale in Birmingham.
Here near Atlanta, the best I can ever find is the very infrequent 10
pounds / $2.90. That's the price this week at Kroger. I always
pounce on that sale when I can. I like to cook the chicken quarters
down in my crockpot, then freeze the skinned and deboned chicken to
use in casseroles, enchiladas, chicken and rice, etc.

Tara, could you elaborate on your method of cooking them in the
crockpot? I'm going to buy some cheap chicken leg quarters and want to
do them up for the freezer. ....Sharon

I just layer the chicken quarters in my crockpot, seasoning each with
a heavy hand. When the crockpot is full, cover it and cook the
chicken all day on low temperature. That's it -- no liquid added.
For the seasoning, I use lots of whatever blend I have on hand --
seasoning salt, cajun spice, Goya adobe, whatever you like. When the
chicken is done, let it cool and then pull off the skin and the meat
will fall right off of the bones. I divide the chicken into roughly
one cup portions and freeze it in ziploc bags.

Thanks Tara. I did up 14 leg quarters yesterday, but fried them
first and made a braising liquid with onions and garlic fried in the pan
drippings, then added flour, chicken broth and seasonings. I was hoping
to use the braising liquid as is, but there was too much fat and I'll
just pull off the meat and freeze it for use later. I'll defat the
liquid and freeze it. ....Sharon
