this is currently in the process. as kids we called it "herbal chicken soup"
it is a big bowl of *** now. my mom would package me herb mixes to use for pork or chicken and i would use those. now? she is older and couldnt/wouldnt help..so i resort to store bought packages. i cant read chinese. my aunt helped me once. i think i could reverse engineer it, and use smell, and visuals to recreate, but that makes my head hurt just thinking about it. store bought packs it is!!
the bird. my friend used to give me one that quit laying. now? i just buy a silkie chicken. despite the look, it taste like a regular chicken. i vaguely recall my mom saying the black color is considered some thing special to chinese folk. whatever. this bird is at least organic and not engineered in some farm lab.
the spices and the bird.
