Chicken of the woods

[Al Agnew]

My brother in law found a big chicken of the woods yesterday, and gave it to us.  I'd never eaten it before...it really does taste like chicken...well, slightly like chicken mixed with just a hint of sawdust.  Not bad, but needs a bit of doctoring and seasoning to make it really good, instead of simply sauteeing it.  Definitely has a chicken-like texture.

Chanterelles are still popping now and then around here.  We were in Montana for a month, so we're going to go out in the morning and try to find enough for a mess.

Our favorite way is to dip them in egg, coat them in flower and deep fry them. Then we dip the fried mushrooms in ranch dressing.
