Hi,
A few days ago, I watched a YouTube video where some American quail hunters processed their catch by skinning them......rather than plucking them.
Years ago, we had some Fijian Indian customers who used to buy huge broiler breeder cockerels from us.
They lived in the city and processing poultry was not possible, so we used to let them process them on our place. We were intrigued by the fact that they skinned the chickens......complete with feathers.
We also had some Muslim customers who did a similar thing.
This afternoon, I had five (much smaller) cockerels to process. These birds were destined for the soup pot......or some other slow-cooking method so, where we would normally scald the carcasses, and then pluck them, I decided to skin them.
It was successful, but it took me just as long as it would to do them the conventional way......and I like to eat chicken skin, too.
