I'll have to give this recipe a whirl. I recently tried another one that described itself as "a spicy sauce" that turned out to be irretrievably bland and watery.

The Bloody Truth About Raising City Chickens
The municipality in which I dwell allows chickens for eggs but prohibits their slaughter for meat. It's a waste if you ask me.

The Bloody Truth About Raising City Chickens
"Slate contributor L.E. Leone shares her experiences with urban chicken farming and points to a pathological avoidance of talking about blood, even on sites like thecitychicken.com. "
Hey! That's me! I author that site, TheCityChicken.com. Thanks for reminding me that I have pretty much left out "how to dispatch with a chicken" in my FAQ. So yeah, I didn't so much "pathologically avoid" but more like "kinda forgot" to put stuff about killing chickens on my site TheCityChicken.com. I'll get right on it. Thank goodness I've only had to euthanize three chickens in the past fourteen years.

Keeping chickens....dirty, unbelievably smelly and, what do you do with all that chicken waste?
And then there's the slaughtering....blood, guts, feathers...yeesh!
The Bloody Truth About Raising City Chickens
yeah, this makes for good neighbors. a few years ago a neighbor of mine in brooklyn (half a block away) decided that it would be a good idea to keep a rooster in the yard. it was a real pleasure to be crowed awake at 5am every morning. i'm sure hens would be better but i think even that is a little over the top, noise-wise (not to mention smell). in the country people tend to have their houses a little further than 20 feet from the chicken coop. i can understand the back to nature appeal but come on, have some respect for your neighbors and stick to plants if you live in an urban area.

I knew some people that had a chicken in a Manhattan apartment but it was just an odd pet.

I have never tried a Martha Stewart recipe. But, I have made changes to some of my old recipes because of suggestions that she made on her show.
