Anybody know what to do with FIVE POUNDS of chicken of the woods

@sarahtaber
Nicely replaces chicken in any chicken dish. Slice up and sautee until it's all the same color. Blanch & freeze for long term storage.

@sarahtaber or, triple epic esquites

@sarahtaber My solution calls for more duck fat than any reasonable person keeps in the house.

@sarahtaber Batter and fry? Or dehydrate for later.

@sarahtaber Forget eating it, that's one you mount and hang above the mantle!

@sarahtaber make 90 chicken nuggets of the woods

@sarahtaber Use it to distract zombies?

@sarahtaber holy crap

@sarahtaber Deep frying in duck fat solves most foraging related problems.

@sarahtaber for giggles: ask every AI to tell you if this is edible. Probably not as interesting since this is fine to eat…

@sarahtaber

At the Minnesota State Fair, I encountered a booth selling "Shroomy Calamari" - by which they meant chunks of oyster mushroom, breaded and flash-fried.

Do that with the chicken of the woods and serve it as "mushroom fried chicken" ?

@sarahtaber This is no time to turn chicken!

[sarahtaber@mastodon.online]

@count_01 I mean to be fair it solves most problems period

[count_01@mastodon.social]

@sarahtaber That is a valid point.

[sarahtaber@mastodon.online]

@count_01

Food: deep-fry in duck fat solves this

Enemies: deep-fry in duck fat also solves this

@sarahtaber Tear into nuggets, simmer in a light broth for about 10 minutes, take out and let cool.
Bread it and des/airfry/bake the nuggets.
Freeze the rest and cook from frozen, whenever you want some.

@sarahtaber Brag is all I could think of, and y'all have got that one covered

Its a lovely beast. I'd portion it out over some risotto or make the best mushroom soup ive ever had:

The above is the most savory, creamy soup I've ever made, and it came out so good with run of the mill white mushrooms. I'd imagine it would be mind bending with something like the above.

@sarahtaber first you make all the mushroom lovers on Fedi quiver with envy. Oh, I see you already checked that off. Good.
Next you make the biggest, nay, greatest vegan pulled chicken burger you've ever tasted.
