What's the difference between a Stewing Chicken and a regular one? How do I cook a Stewing Chicken?

Question

I imagine I'll get a lot of "make a stew out of it" answers. I'm not so daft as to not realise that, lol. What I mean is...
Does anyone have a good recipe for a dish that uses a stewing chicken?
Is there a way to have a stewing chicken cook like a regular one so it doesn't turn out tough (like the last one I tried to cook in a roasting pan)? And really... I still don't know the difference, so what IS the difference please?
Thanks!

Also, can I put the raw chicken in the
pot and make broth from that?
I'm a little worried about cooking with raw chicken. I was vegetarian for a long time,
so I kind of need step by step instructions...

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can make soup or chicken pot pie. just cook your chicken and some veggie and make the broth thicken, with corn starch. when semi cooked, make pie shells and pour in the bottom when the mixture is not hot but cooler. then put the top of the pie crust on and put some fork marks to let out steam crimp the edges of the two pieces of pie crust together and cook until the pie top is golden brown bush (take the stick of ) butter and coat the top. turn off the heat and let sit for 5 minutes and take out. wait 10 min the pies insides is Very HOT.

Answer 2

Stewing Chicken

Answer 3

A stewing chicken is an older bird that is tough and not good to eat unless you stew it. You can use it for like chicken and noodles where you can boil it, and then use the broth off it.


Edited to add: Stewing/Baking Hen - a mature laying hen 10 months to 1 1/2 years old. Since the meat is less tender than young chickens, it's best used in moist cooking such as stewing.

Answer 4

A stewing chicken is a hen. It is larger than your average fryer because of its age when it is killed. Because of its age, the muscles are tougher than the a young fryer hence why they call them stewing chickens. For the meat to become tender, it must be slowly boiled till the meat begins to fall off the bone. Being from down South, we use hens all the time for chicken bog, gumbos, and Brunswick stew.

Answer 5

First off do you mean "northern american" as in the U.S. and Mexico vs. say "southern american" of Brazil, etc. since I know they have it down there too or do you mean the U.S. northern vs. southern states? I know nothing about the BBQ of South America and little about Mexican style but in the U.S. the BBQ is mostly Southern with a little bit in the Midwest/West. In fact many in the North have said they've never had BBQ whereas the South usually has several BBQ joints even in the smallest towns. Like others have pointed out barbeque as a noun is mostly a type of traditional Southern fast food whereas in most of the northern parts the word barbeque is a verb that means to grill- as we would say it. I agree with most of the replies above about the standard places being Texas, Carolina, Memphis, and Kansas City and this is all over the Internet but you can get much more specific than that like the Alabama white sauce or the fact that in some parts of North Carolina they eat hush puppies with it while most of the South features a BBQ plate with cole slaw, potato salad, and such. It's a long story but a lot of it is based on recipes handed down for generations and race isn't a factor since you have white, black, hispanic all doing it. Also most of the South uses pork while Texas uses beef. A lot of this is based on Indigenous Americans so it's no surprise you get this with other peoples in the Americas like Mexico.

Answer 6

a stewing chicken is usually a laying chicken and lived a lot longer than a tender frying chicken. try this recipe:1 stewing chicken cut up,and de-boned,cover with 12 cups water , 2 cups sliced celery, 2 cups sliced carrots,1 cup chopped onion,1 tsp sage,1 tbs salt,1 large bay leaf, 2 heaping tbs parsley,bring to boil and let simmer 3 hours.return to boil and add large package egg noodles or you can add 1 cup wild rice and 3 cups white rice. cook till noodles or rice are done. enjoy!

This is a good article: Central Texas BBQ Dynasties What Becomes a Legend Most? BY VIRGINIA B. WOOD Barbecue is everyman's chance for culinary greatness, where cheap cuts of meat like pork butts, beef briskets, and ribs can magically be turned into everyday haute cuisine with the application of spices and smoke. Most geographic regions in the American South boast a time-honored barbecue tradition. In eastern North Carolina, it's not barbecue unless it's pulled pork, served with Brunswick stew and hush puppies. In the Tennessee/ Arkansas/Mississippi area around Memphis, pork ribs are a must. As far north as Kansas City, where they actually hold annual barbecue championship cookoffs, sweet, smoky sauce concoctions play an important role. Definitions of barbecue vary with geography, ethnic heritage, regional culinary traditions, and the availability of agricultural products. The subject is known to evoke passionate controversy among the regions. Central Texas barbecue traditions evolved from a confluence of events in the second half of the 19th century. Refugees from the Civil War, both black and white, came to Texas looking for new land and a new start, bringing their recipes and cooking styles along. German and Czech settlers arrived with centuries of experience making sausage and smoking meats. The Chisholm Trail, a route for driving big Texas cattle herds to stockyards and railheads, passed through the area, bringing cattle in abundance. With over 100 years of refinement, the result of this culinary congregation is a reputation for world-class brisket and sausage, plus pork, chicken, mutton, and even cabrito that can hold their own with any man's pit work. Whether it's smoked over oak, pecan, mesquite or hickory, served on butcher paper in a historic family meat market, out the window of an aromatic roadside shack, or in a comfortable sit-down restaurant with a wine list, Central Texas barbecue is cause for pride and celebration. It comes as no surprise to regular Chronicle readers that we take this hallowed barbecue tradition very seriously here at the paper. We embrace it heartily and jump at the chance to promote it to barbecue lovers such as ourselves as well as new and recent converts. This year, we're spotlighting the legendary Central Texas barbecue dynasties, eight families who've dedicated themselves to the pit master's art for generations. These folks have fed everyone from cotton pickers to presidents, deer hunters to diplomats, building solid family businesses with fiercely loyal clienteles. The food staff (Mick Vann, Wes Marshall, MM Pack, and myself) spent some time this fall visiting with these humble, hard-working folks, sampling a bit of their family history along with their barbecue. In case you're only familiar with their great meats, we'd like to introduce you to the Mikeskas, the Muellers, the Bracewells, the Meyers, the Schmidts, the Blacks, the Coopers, and the Inmans, the rural royal families of Central Texas barbecue.
