This is back to basics stuff. It’s a nice C&D, mind, but not very exciting. I don’t claim this recipe, it came from Betty Crocker, with a tweak or two. The turkey tails are one tweak, see Potage Du Nez De Parson Pardon My French However, I have used it and it makes a decent C&D. Read more I’ve sorta gone off chicken lately. My flock was decimated while I was out at Tokelau and I’m letting it recover. The frozen, boxed junk they sell as chicken here is just rubbish. There is a guy who does eggs here. I know him, sorta. Called him and ask him if he was selling off any layers. No, but he would call in a week, or so, when he got ready to do that. These birds are tough & have to be stewed, not fried. They are short on fat and long on flavour. The trouble with doing your own chickens is having to pluck them. For a little less than a US$, I get one of the young local boys to do that. They all know how and do a decent job. If you’re in the mood for C&D and don’t have a recipe at hand, here you are. See less

- 1. Remove and discard excess fat from chicken. In 4-quart Dutch oven, place chicken, giblets (except discard liver), turkey tail, if using, and neck. Add celery, carrot, onion, parsley, salt, pepper and water. Cover; heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer about 2 hours or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F). Yes, you can do this in in your Crock Pot.

- 3. In Dutch oven, heat reserved 1/2 cup fat over low heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Bisquick mix. Cook and stir until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in reserved 4 cups broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Add chicken and vegetables; reduce heat to low. Heat about 20 minutes or until hot.
- 4. In medium bowl, stir remaining 2 cups Bisquick mix and the milk with wire whisk or fork until soft dough forms. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto hot chicken mixture (do not drop directly into liquid). Cook uncovered over low heat 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer.
