Chicken Killer

Gosh, some of you girls are so needy!! I go out of town for a couple of days and you freak out when there's no blog!! (lol just kidding Bran!)

Anyway, someone asked after my last post if I actually killed a chicken. BUT OF COURSE!! I actually have the whole thing on videotape, but I probably killed and cooked about 3.

What you do is first catch the chicken. That's the hardest part. Then you just lay him on the ground and hold his body with a foot and his head with one hand, and then cut his head off with your knife with the other hand! Then you plunge him (or her) into a big pot of boiling water for about 2 minutes. Then you take him out and pluck the feathers. This was my favorite part! When the feathers are gone you can tell a lot more if it's a good, plump chicken! Anyway, then you cut him up (kinda difficult) and we usually boiled/fried him. It took about 4 hours total to cook. When it's almost done, you add tomatoes and onions to the pot and they fry in the bottom too. So yummy! One time I made my own homemade barbecue sauce and that was good too!

My stomach is growling for a good ole' Zambian chicken right now!!
