I use a sharp fillet knife. Goes right through those joints on the leg quarters.

I have the chicken, just no fryer, so the chicken stays in the freezer for a while.

Bake 'em!!!

Loosen (but don't fully remove) the chicken skin with your fingers. Poke a little butter mixed with the herbs of your choice under the skin. People who like things salty, instead of buttery, might try soy sauce in place of herb butter. Throw the chicken quarters into a baking pan and bake at 375 degrees until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.

Problem solved.

I just now have to get a fryer soon enough for 10lbs of chicken leg quarters, I have the chicken, just no fryer, so the chicken stays in the freezer for a while.

I did find a fryer on Amazon, the Big Boss 9063 16qt 1300w fryer, uses almost no oil, comes in Red or Silver for about $90.00(elsewhere in Black too), supposedly made in France, supposed to cook quickly. Of course I need to get a cutting board and some kitchen shears, since I don't have those either.

Don't you have an oven?

Who did traditional things for Thanksgiving dinner and who did something
different?

(I was invited to two traditional dinners. One was too far to travel
considering the weather. I was too tired to get out of bed on time to
get to the other.)

I did traditional the easy way. On-Cor sliced turkey and gravy (waaaaay too salty), powdered mashed potatoes, jellied cranberry sauce. But I made my own stuffing. Can't say I did a good job of it, though. I made cornbread from scratch, but overcooked it. Not severely, but it had hard edges that I refused to discard and put into the stuffing. Then I either didn't put enough broth on the stuffing before I baked it, or I baked it too long, or both. Anyway, it came out dry. I can add broth to the leftovers, though. And reheat it in butter.

Turkey, mash potatoes, mash sweet potatoes, turkey gravy with chopped giblets, green beans, corn, stuffing and jellied cranberry sauce. Had pumpkin, pecan and cherry pies waiting for latter when there was some room in the belly. Cool whip was optional.

Friends, the most important part, Roasted turkey, creamy gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, mustard potato salad, brussel sprouts, cranberry chutney sauce, jellied cranberry sauce, or course desert pumpkin pie, apple pie, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream, and various beverages to imbibe, some intoxicating.

For my mother and myself I cooked a turkey, and we had sides of fresh green beans, mashed potatoes, Stove Top stuffing, and sliceable cranberry sauce(I could eat a whole can of that stuff!). Pumpkin ice cream for dessert.

BTW, for my cornbread, I bought new flour, sugar, and corn meal, and ditched what I had. I also ditched my open container of baking powder and opened the new one I bought a while ago. Its expiration date was about a year and a half ago, but it still worked fine. I can't even remember the last time I used any of this stuff. I think I may have made cornbread last Thanksgiving, or I might have bought it. I didn't buy new salt, but I'll probably have to soon; it's almost empty (although I usually use way less than the recipe says). I should check the soda too. And I need a new bottle of canola oil.

We enjoyed a traditional mid-western Thanksgiving with Eric's parents.

I only know of one family who does something different for Thanksgiving. I worked with a child several years ago whose parents both hated turkey. They told me that they always have spaghetti carbonara for Thanksgiving. Now, whenever I have spaghetti carbonara, I remember that little guy and his lovely family.

As someone who tolerates turkey once a year I think you may have provided a solution - thanks Angela :-)
