Where to Buy Freshly Slaughtered Chickens & Pigeons ๐๐๏ธ
๐ D.C Poultry Market Iโd always heard about this place in Alexandria that sells live chickens and pigeons! Brought my parents along and we bought: โข 1 free-range chicken ($25 each) ๐ โข 1 old hen, 4 lbs ($4.5 per lb) ๐ โข 2 pigeons ($18 each) ๐๏ธ The quality of the chickens and pigeons is excellent! Prices are pretty reasonable too. The store is clean with no weird smells ๐โจ After ordering, they prepare the chicken/pigeon right on the spotโfresh as it gets! (Note: You canโt pick which bird yourself.) We made: โข Old hen soup โ The broth was golden yellowโIโve never seen chicken soup like this in the US! ๐ฒ๐ โข Free-range chicken โSan Huang Jiโ โ So tender and flavorful! ๐ โข Grilled pigeon with sauce โ Super tasty, though not as fatty as the ones back home ๐จ๐ณ Basically, these are the kinds of dishes I only get to eat when my parents are around ๐คฃโค๏ธ #WashingtonDC #DMVFood #FreshPoultry #AsianMarket #HomemadeMeals #ChickenSoup #GrilledPigeon #AlexandriaVA #FamilyCooking #FoodieFind #EatFresh #LocalMarket #DCEats
