Aaah yes the challenge of the rooster rabble! Did you find you needed a long cook or was the meat not tough? I find the free rangers are very tasty but need a slow roast (the solar cooker is best)

Maybe that was part of the problem. We cooked him at 350° for an hour and a half. Maybe too hot and too fast. But he was an old bird too, which I have no doubt was a consideration.
We have a recipe for free rangers:
Marinade chicken overnight with a brick. Roast all day, with the brick. Once cooked, throw away the chicken and eat the brick!
Funny but sometimes true. You need a looooooooong slow cook. Best to marinade overnight and then leave it cooking on a low heat all day (That way you don't need to eat the brick ;)
Hahahahahah!
Well we've got one chicken left (gave three to @burntoblog and family), we'll be sure to cook him in the crock pot all day.
