Can people please share with me good recipes that use Stewing Chickens?

Question

I used to be a vegetarian, so I haven't cooked with meat much.
I'd really love some step by step recipes...
but preferably nothing spicy!

Thanks!

I am sure I want to learn to cook with stewing chickens, for two reasons:
1) They're really dang cheap! You can buy a bag of four at our local grocery for $8!
2) My husband and I hope to start a farm in a few years, and we'll want to know all we can about things like using less-marketable groceries well.

Thanks!

Chicken with Coconut Milk, Lemongrass, and Ginger

This is a trip down memory lane for me as the aromas coming from the oven take me straight back to my mom's kitchen. It is an easy-to-make family-style dish. Any left over will make a marvelous salad. Use the stewing liquid as a dressing.

1/4 cup peanut oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
4 dried cayenne chiles
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced fresh lemongrass
2 cups diced peeled cooked potatoes
1 tablespoon toasted black cumin seeds, ground
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
6 ounces coconut milk
6 ounces half-and-half
Coarse salt, to taste
Two 2 1/2-pound whole chickens, cut into serving pieces

1. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and chiles and lower the heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and well caramelized.

2. Stir in the ginger and lemongrass and saute for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and stir to combine. Atir in the black cumin and turmeric. When the spices are well incorporated, stir in the coconut milk and the half-and half. Add salt and remove from the heat.

3.Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

4.Place the chicken in a Dutch oven or another large heavy ovenproof casserole. Pour the coconut mixture over the top of the chicken. Cover and bake for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender.

5. Serve, family style, with basmati rice, a green salad, and warm breads.

Answer 3

Are you sure you want to cook stewing chickens?
I'm not sure if you're aware that stewing chickens
have tough meat, really tough meat. My grandmother used
to make chicken soup with stewing chicken because the meat
was so hard. God I miss her chicken soup.
