Same here. My Mom would quarter them and treat them like fried chicken. Delicious.
Many years ago, the 60 year old neighbor asked my grandfather how to fry a whole chicken she’d bought at the grocery store. He told her to draw and quarter it and he’d be over in a bit. That’s exactly what she did. She drew it on a piece of paper and quartered the picture. Grandpa said he never said a word and scrutinized the picture as he cut it up for her. Honestly, a 60 year old woman hadn’t a clue. Of course, her retired military husband demanded everyone address him as “Admiral” when he never made rank. Loony toons.
