but truly free range birds allowed to grow and mature for 4 to
8 months are awesome and don't need anything but perhaps salt.

By Thanksgiving her spring chickens weigh about 8-9 pounds,
have darker meat, are quite fatty and are very flavourful.

Now those DO sound very good... :) I might not even mind the "white" meat so much on those... ;)

Yes even the breast meat is packed with flavour and very juicy if
not overcooked.

Another way to go with cukes:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Cucumber Sandwiches
Categories: Sandwiches, Cheese
Yield: 20 Sandwiches

8 oz Cream cheese; softened
1/3 c Mayonnaise
1 md Cucumbers
1/4 ts Garlic salt
1/2 ts Dill, fresh; chopped
20 sl Sandwich bread
20 sl Wheat bread; thin

Peel, seed, and finely chop cucumbers. Process cream cheese and
mayonnaise in blender or food processor until smooth, stopping once
to scrape down sides. Combine cream cheese mixture, cucumber, garlic
salt, and dill. Spread cucumber mixture evenly onto white bread
slices, and top with wheat bread. Using a 2"-3" round cutter, cut

then cut sandwiches into quarters. Store cucumber sandwiches in

There's the rub... one still needs to pay attention to the cooking... ;)

Of course, I've had regular dark meat that was overcooked to
inedibility, too.... not a good thing at all... (G)
