you can't get a cleaner bird than waxed but taking the time to melt it is what takes so long ,,2 dips let cool completely ,one pull on a leg to break the wax and it goes smooth ,also a great fire starter afterwardsdudejcb wrote:tmclaimerFL wrote:I've heard people using some type of wax to clean their birds as well.

To get store quality clean skinned bird melted paraffin works great, but is a pain in the Azz to use. Just pluck, singe and clean.
I pluck the breast and legs, then singe, then filet the breasts with the skin on, same for the legs. Rub both with coffee meat rub.
Breasts cannot be cooked past medium (medium rare is better). Legs can be sautéed or crock potted & deboned for gumbo or enchiladas.
