There are Two Good Ways to Hypnotize a Chicken!

Good news: there is not one, but two ways to put a chicken into a hypnotic trance!

Recently I was telling a friend that when I was young we used to put our uncle’s chickens to sleep by folding the bird’s head under a wing and then rocking it from side to side with a swaying motion. The chicken almost immediately starts breathing heavy and goes to sleep. Even if you set it down, it will stay with head under wing, snoozing.

I was surprised to learn that this is not the only method of chicken hypnotism, and not even the preferred method!

A friend showed me a much better way to mesmerize a chicken. Simply capture the chicken and then force it to look straight ahead as you trace “Xs” in front of it’s beak. Just make X marks with you finger — you don’t even have to draw real Xs, and the chicken will go into a deep trance just by watching this. I encourage readers to try this with their own chickens — you’ll be amazed!

Well they will be dead...

Chickens do peck and poop ...

.... but here is the way to make them stop. You capture the chicken, cut off its head, pluck off all its feathers, cut it into pieces, dip the pieces into a batter made of water, flour, corn starch, salt, pepper, red pepper, garlic powder -- and once coated thusly, you drop them into a pan of sizzling oil and fry them until they are golden and crispy on the outside and white and tender inside -- and then you eat them.

Problem solved!

Sounds, well, messy

I'll just go to KFC - which is everywhere here in China as well as home. No mess.
