I usually take the breast, legs, gizzards and hearts from spruce hens. My favorite is frying them. I often separate the different pieces into bags (all breasts, all legs, all hearts and gizzards) and cook them at different meals. Each has a different taste. I have broiled them with season salt, but be careful not to overcook them. Spruce Chicken Soup is tastey, although I think my wife adds chicken bullion. I have also had the breasts dried into jerky that was very good. If you have a big pile of breasts, drying them into jerky makes it into a small pile.
Good luck and keep encouraging your son.
