sexy chick

July 8, 2008 by Sara Zoe.

This is the gorgeous chicken I bought from Kellie Brook Farm a couple weeks ago at the Exeter Farmers’ Market [Which occurs in Swazey Parkway on Thursdays from 2:15 - 6pm. They can also be purchased at the Kingston Farmers’ Market on Tuesday afternoons on the Plains in the center of Kingston, and at the farm on rte 33 in Greenland, call ahead if you haven’t been to the farm before.]

So far, I’ve gotten 3.5 meals for two people out of it, and I still have two thighs and a leg to go. The  first night was hot fresh roasted chicken - each of us enjoying our favorite bits alongside roasted potatoes and other vegetables with the pan juices. Following that was chicken quesadillas, and lunch the next day was the best chicken salad, simply chicken, a little mayo, and a little sour cream, salt and pepper. I used the bones and the remaining pan juices from the first night to make a wonderful and quick stock that made some amazing black beans (this is the .5, as the beans needed some other foods to make a meal.) The rest is going to make its way onto a dinner salad of mostly lettuce with some cooked early potatoes, a hard boiled egg or two, and the last of the season’s garlic scapes minced and crisp-fried into a perfect salad topping -
