"Jugging" chickens

[Kimstu]

Huh, I thought this was going to be about recipes for a particular style of cooking chicken, similar to jugged hare.

The term ‘jugging’ comes from the traditional practice of cooking an animal inside a jug which is placed in a pan of hot water - like a sort of meaty bain marie. But the results are tantamount to stewing the hare in a casserole dish at a low heat for a long amount of time.

I never heard of this version referring to putting a live animal in a jug. Yeesh, that sounds cruel.
