No sir . I had those birds breasted out ninety minutes after I got home . By that I mean both breasts still attached to the breast bone . When I get ready to cook them I fillet the brest from the bone the best I can . I got an aversion to leaving anything overnight etc unless absolutely necessary . I’ve got caught in the past with a large amount of this or that to clean the next day or whatever and I just prefer to get it done as quickly as possible . With birds however I do soak the breasts in salt water one to three nights rinsing each day . That a twofold thing first off I inspect for feathers I’ve missed etc and secondly hopefully it draws any blood out .
