Hi, all - I'm hoping someone can give me some tips here. Here's the problem: I bought a bunch of chickens from a local farmer, including some that he identified as "stewing chickens." These were birds that had been laying hens but were no longer productive. The farmer said "stewing chickens" were pretty tough but would work really well in slow-cooking methods - soups, stews, anything in a slow cooker, etc. Well, I didn't listen and picked the wrong cooking method: chicken-in-a-pot. The results were pretty disastrous, and now I've got this almost-whole cooked chicken that is really too tough to eat. I'd like to use it, somehow. What can I do with it? I'm hoping for a stew or soup, at this point. I really regret disregarding the farmer's advice and hate to waste this bird. Thanks in advance for any advice you can send my way!
