There are actually areas of the birds that had <i>more</i> fat on them than chickens - such as at the end of the ribs where the breasts meet the thighs, and at the joint of the thighs and drums (both of these points have fat lines on them in chickens, but on the fowl they were much thicker and more pronounced.)<br /><br />The meat was also denser than chickens and darker - even the wings and breast - likely because fowl are strong fliers and use their wings a lot. <br /><br />As it turned out, I didn't brine them at all, but I did keep the smoker at a good low temperature, and they came out beautifully juicy and tender.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866627809585257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-45971413902010500622010-06-05T20:47:12.596-04:002010-06-05T20:47:12.596-04:00Just wondering Dave have you cooked one of these b...Just wondering Dave have you cooked one of these before.
