A couple of times I have bought live chickens which then were killed/cleaned for me on the spot.
The issue that I have is the following : I let the chicken sit in the fridge for 24-48 hrs yet when I use them the meat is stiff to the point that it acts like it's frozen. legs/wings don't wiggle and the meat is impossibly stringy.
I've read up on it but is seems that after 24+hrs the rigor mortis supposedly starts to disappear yet even after 3 full days the chickens are still stiff like a board.
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks for any and all input
