Any 4-H boy or girl may participate regardless of their place of residence. The subject matter to be taught is in the area of consumer education. Therefore, live poultry projects are not a prerequisite for the Poultry Barbecue Program. The first step is to secure a sponsor. If you live in a county where poultry is processed, this would be a possible sponsor.
Retail distributors are additional candidates for sponsors.
Set up an awards program. Conduct a training meeting to teach each member the proper technique for barbecuing chicken. Extension Publication 351 would be a helpful teaching aid. Requirements to prepare complete barbecue meals for large groups are detailed in the Barbecue Planning Guide. Select a date to conduct your county Poultry Barbecue Program.
