COOK IT THE SAME WAY YOU DO A CHICKEN, I personally like to roast it in the oven for a good while 3hr., the meat just pops out of the bone

Ok, I will try that. I had heard it was a little tougher than chicken therefore needed to be cooked a little longer that is why I am asking. But I heard it was some good eatin if cooked right. Thanks again...

I think he is about 5 pounds, would you suggest I have him cut into pieces first or brine him whole?
Either works..... Use Lindsey Kauffman's resource..Serious BBQ by Adam Perry Lang for the brine recipe and timing.

Pieces might allow more flexibility for cooking times... some longer than others to avoid the 'rarebird' problem :))

Try this.... its a turkey recipe but will work fine

Yep that would be it. That is what I hear as well. My sister bought me some when she came to visit she said it would help with the flea and ticks in the yard since I have a dog. But she didn't know that she bought 2 males instead of one and the one has gotten so aggressive that when I shew him away so the others can eat when I turn my back I can see him trying to rush at me (as if) so he has got to go...into the pot or grill he will be. @ WW I make some killer BBQ sauce so maybe that is how he will end up. Thanks for all the ideas!!!

LOL I will keep everyone posted! I am making myself hungry thinking of what sides I want to go with him. BBQ and homemade baked beans(ground beef added), roasted and some roasted garlic and thyme potatoes...I was going to cook him in honor of Memorial Day in the states on Monday, but he might get plucked tonight!!!
