it’s not waving at you, that’s just the way the legs bend
One of the things I like about our local chicken farm is that it sells you whole chickens, with all their disgusting parts shoved up inside the hollowed out chest cavity.
It’s a bit gruesome but I love pulling out the neck, liver and kidney (I think – it’s purple and squishy) because those are the winners, as far as nutrition goes.
Organ meats are full of iron, minerals, vitamins and other good stuff that your body needs but probably doesn’t get enough of.
Sometimes I cook them separately but most times I’ll toss them into a saucepan, add a few veg and the carcass and make one of the most nutritious, mineralised stocks you can drink.
