Ghee Rubbed Guinea Fowl

A few years ago, in need of using some leftover ghee, the South Asian equivalent of clarified butter made its way onto the bird, filling the house for hours with the smell of drawn butter and citrus and thyme.

Spatchcocked Cowboy Chicken Recipe - For Heritage Chickens!

There a so many ways to prepare a chicken. One of our favorite methods is to spatchcock the bird so that it cooks more evenly.
