Hey, after 16 hours was the meat fall off the bone? Or would it stand up to batter/frying like chicken? Thanks!!
Try dipping the freshly skinned bodies in an ice water bath for a few minutes as well. It prevents the skin from getting sticky and catching hairs, and it also helps to release any ‘strays’ that were left behind!
