    Was the meat frozen? I find stuff like this happens to mine with defrosted frozen drumsticks because the bone cracks and the marrow leaks out

    Should be fine after the chicken is cooked.

    acid “cooks” the meat, you need brine to pull out liquids

    brine will also tenderize

    maybe 30min in brine then 30 min in lime juice?

    Having lopped the heads off of, stripped the feathers off of, dissected and butchered thousands of chickens by hand for personal use so far…

    It is my opinion that you might be buying meat from a not-so-professional butcher.

    salt water soak before hand helps, and makes the meat tender.

    I’m hearing Gordon Ramsey’s voice in my head shouting “A skilled veterinarian could still save it!”

    Better quality meat I won’t even go to Walmart for mine 🤣

  8. That’s so fresh, I bet the rest of the carcass is still twitching

    I might have to consider becoming vegan after seeing that. Have they never cooked chicken before? Simple life hack —- look it up if you if you are not sure. Better yet, find out before starting.

    You need to turn the heat up higher when frying chicken. It needs to cook kinda fast

    Boil the chicken first and then fry it.

    So not helpful in here! We know OP has not finished cooking it. Having cooked chicken like this myself many times, I clicked on this post because I am curious, too. AFTER cooking the chicken (thoroughly), there’s often dark, cooked blood on the ends of homemade fried chicken that isn’t there on restaurant chicken.

    It’s not actually blood, it’s called myoglobin.
