    @billturner1960 Рік тому

    Wow boss,,,nice looking bird there.
    Great video as always.
    Say I use a little trick with the ends of those legs that may be of value to you.
    I push the bone end of the drumsticks through two very small slits in the skin in the lower end of the cavity. The more you can bend the knee and push the drumsticks up, the better.
    Plus it allows ya to keep the small slits high enough so they don't tear out.
    On bigger birds like a duck for example, you can criss cross the drumsticks to help you truss him as well. If it's a big enough chicken you can do the same thing.
    Cut your little slits high up on that cavity skin and put the left leg tip through the right side and right leg through the left side.
    It really keeps the legs protected and if you happen to have anything in the cavity it save you from having to sew that cavity closed.
    Take it for a drive and see what ya think and please keep up the great work!
    Bill
