I wouldn’t want anyone to be intimidated by this family favorite - so let’s talk about finger lickin’ country fried chicken! First get… Read more »
How often do you buy chicken broth? So many recipes call for chicken broth. I used to buy it by the case – but no more. It’s so cheap to make and simple to store! I make my chicken broth in a crock pot. I used to cook it on the stove, but I have… Read more »

This year I did something I swore I’d never do… I ordered 25 Cornish Cross chicks. If you’re not familiar with Cornish Cross, this is as close as you can get to the breed of chicken you buy at the grocery store. Why did I swear I’d never raise Cornish Cross? Cornish Cross just seems… Read more »
I asked you all on Facebook what kind of recipe you’d like me to post next, and the consensus seemed to be “casserole”. When I was a child, I didn’t like casseroles much, but I remember this simple chicken casserole being one that I enjoyed, so I knew it was the perfect one to share… Read more »

What’s in a Name? About Me
Hi! My name is Becky.
Thank you for taking the time to Read My Chicken Scratch.
When I was a little girl, my
grandma (who I called Nanny) would give me something
she’d written – a grocery list, a phone message, a letter –
and she’d say, “Here it is, if you can read my chicken
scratch.” She’s the one who encouraged me to get started with chickens, and by extension, is the inspiration behind this blog.
