Pretty much the same. I prefer to slow cook in a crock pot the leg and thigh meat and after cooking strip out the ligaments and tendons from the drum sticks. I save the dark meat for chili. A lot of folks I know filet out the bird's breast and throw the rest away. I used to smoke the entire bird after scalding and plucking, but now filet out the meat off the breast for frying in small pieces cut against the grain and the dark meat cooked as above. I've occasionally made jerky out of the breast meat. Gil
