[ When he gets there, he's going to see a very frazzled looking bird, a plucked chicken that likely still has most of it's insides sticking half out of the pot of water, and a great deal of feathers shoved into another pan she seems to have borrowed for the purpose of plucking said chicken. ]
[He doesn't like typing on this large thing with one hand, so... he doesn't respond. When he does get there to see Skye there, feathers everywhere, chicken in a pot, he... blinked, then raises a brow, wordlessly coming in to stand in front of the pot, one hand on his hip and staring at the dead chicken in the pot. Deadpan:]
You think I have experience cooking things besides kraft easy mac and hot pockets?
[ She gestured randomly to the room. ]
I've been doing a lot of hunting, but I've never had to cook it. Bird me can eat deers or whatever without the help of a kitchen. ....And my kitchen help is youtube. Which, once again, I don't have.
[ Skye, that does not explain the dead bird in a pot. ]
You stop at Easy mac? that's the microwavable one, right? [disgust. Mock disgust, at least. Tisk.]
That doesn't explain how you equate 'dead bird in a pot of water' to 'chicken broth'. [he said easy, moving to reach into the lukewarm water and pulling the bird up a bit with a few fingers, looking it over.]
[he then nodded to her and then the pot] Move this to the sink for me. Drain it half way so I can get the chicken. And do we have a cleaver?
[yep. he was going to take over, but your winged hands were going to be his]
[This is the most deadpan look Skye has ever given him. In her life. And Skye is the queen of deadpan looks.]
It's how you boil pretty much everything. Shove it in water, and boil it. So I figured, shove it in water.
[That said, Skye begins to dump water out of the pan and sighs dramatically.]
Cleaver is in the drawer. I would totally rinse it first though. Just...Because. I kind of stay on the side of paranoia in the face of pretty constant cannibalism.
[Give all the deadpan looks you want. He's still going to tisk at you and your lack of cooking skills. You burn water, don't you?]
You want it to be edible, yes? There are ways to make that last longer. More then just boiling it down. Did you remove the insides?
[He got the cleaver and moved to the sink, his sleeves already rolled (he had someone do it for him earlier) he paused there. Being one handed really bites. But he can manage. He'll clean the knife, and NO he is not asking what the hell she or the others have killed with it. He knows that much already. It makes his belly turn, but he... understands. This isn't their fault. They can't help it.]
[It still makes him feel ill. But he wont tell them that.]
[He cleans the knife as best he can, then reaches into the pot pulling the bird out. He tries to go to work as he talks]
We take the insides out first. Save them, of course, but we don't need them all at once. We chop the bird up into smaller manageable pieces. Fry them a bit with veggies, if we have any still? If there are spices, it helps but it's not needed. But yes, fry it all in a pan, just a bit. Toss all of THAT into cold water, then set it to boil. It'll only take a hour, maybe two for first broth.
From there you can pick the chicken meat off for food. Strip the skin, the bones and other things off and put into a new pan. Toss in the left over veggies and things from the first round. Boil for four hours. Use the innards in that one. Strain it all well and save the broth. You can bottle and freeze it if we need to. But it should last a week unfrozen. One chicken should make a lot of broth and meat for a few days. The vegetables give it additives to help. If this is for RS, it should be more then enough to get him used to food again, and he can try the cooked chicken later.
[He says all this as he tries to cleave the chicken, looking frustrated but determined. Skye, you are going to learn so much (that you wont even need to use later).
