When I was growing my, my grandmother used to send me into the chicken house to grab one or two for her to make for dinner. She'd butcher and dress them on the spot and they were so delicious no matter how she cooked them (usually fried).

One thing I remember however, is that she used to discard the wings (or use them for soup). She referred to the wings as "junk meat".

Who knew that decades later, entire restaurant chains would be dedicated to the wing of the chicken!

Drumsticks and thighs were alway my favorite parts of the chicken to eat.

Reminds me of my Grandmother and my Aunt making chicken and noodles in Altamont, Utah in 1956.

Granny went out selected three or four prime candidates and whacked off their heads. The chickens flew up in the air spewing blood all over except on Granny.

Into the house plucked and dehaired into the pot with home made noodles and home grown veggies. I still remember how good they tasted.

My mother in law cooked the feet in spaghetti sauce . They would eat the little pads on the bottom. I never tried them.
