I cut the fourteen-week-old barred rock into pieces, seasoned them with salt and pepper, dragged them through flour, and fried them in a cast iron pan filled with a shallow layer of hot oil. When the chicken was brown and crispy on all sides, I poured a sip of water into the pan, slammed a lid on top, let it steam for twenty minutes, removed the lid, and cranked the flame back up. The chicken was now golden brown and crispy. And even smaller than before.
And my, what a chicken.
