Dr_Pain about what mine is, 28 miles, I have to drive into the city. I deboned 10 lbs. of quarters at a time and the last batch I tossed the bones since I had no use for another batch. It was a lot of work, but for the price as you said I could afford the failure. You got yours far cheaper, mine were $0.69/lb.

Yea, hard to beat $0.37/lbs these days. I have all the local stores weekly electronic flyers on my bookmark bar and just visit them weekly to see what is cheap and on sale.

I just looked on Walton’s and saw that it only had 1 review (a positive). I am assuming that you are not the one LOL!

Dr_Pain If you have a Restaurant Depot near you, you can get mechanically separated chicken for around a buck a pound and not have to do all the work of de-boning the chicken. After my failures with using un-processed pineapple with sausage, especially with the chicken, I began to wonder about this product. But after my last endeavor I have really come to like it. They market it as ground chicken most of the time and it come in five pound chubs in a ten pound box.

That is interesting! I did want the bones to make broth and also wanted the skin to make chicken cracklin, so nothing wasted (except for the time to actually debone and skin each of those buggers. I think the closest Restaurant Depot is about 1hr away

Dr_Pain All look good, let us know how they all turned out.

Absolutely! I may have to tweak the process and seasoning but you never know it may end up on the recipe section

This is my contribution to sausage month

I was looking for a protein change of pace so decided to do some chicken sausages. I didn’t have a recipe so made it up as I went. I figure I paid $7.30 for 20lbs of leg quarters, so not too expensive of a failure.

Top right: Smoke spatchcock chicken (my son and I came up with the rub a while back). Smoked it on my pellet grill
Bottom: Chicken Shawarma sausage (use my made up shawarma marinade)

I haven’t tried them but they look and smell delicious. The shawarma will be served with Tzatziki. BBQ with home made BBQ sauce. And the BWW with some homemade ranch

Cross your fingers HAHAHA!!

Ill have to tell my wife this…

HAHAHAHA Way to early for me to read this. I am in a silly mood so this could degenerate fast.
