I only have 3 meat eaters coming for Thanksgiving. What can I serve to balance my desire not to have a ton of meat leftover that no one will eat vs. the desire to set a festive table and have a special meal?

I have a lot of wild birds in our garden because I have five birdfeeders year round. The neighbor's cat likes staking out the birds and killing whatever he can catch. I'm thinking about getting a chicken or two to help clean up the extra bird food and possibly keep the cat out of the garden. Good idea or no?

I was given a large smoked-meat assortment pack for Christmas (thanks Grandma!) and one item is confusing me on what to do with it: an entire smoked chicken, intact and not cut up, purchased refrigerated and shrinkwrapped in plastic.

I have read conflicting reviews about cooking boneless skinless chicken breast in a slow cooker. I will be making apricot chicken in the crock pot tomorrow. The recipe calls for a chicken cut into serving size pieces. I am using boneless skinless chicken breast instead. How long do you usually cook it on low? The recipe says 3-8 hours. Pretty wide berth there. Any tips?

Should we feed the neighbor's chicken? The neighbor (who I'm not crazy about) has a lot of chickens. One young rooster is being chased out of the flock by an older, more mature rooster. He's really cute. We are calling him 'Alfred'.
