8 months are awesome and don't need anything but perhaps salt.
By Thanksgiving her spring chickens weigh about 8-9 pounds,

Now those DO sound very good... :) I might not even mind the "white" meat so much on those... ;)
Yes even the breast meat is packed with flavour and very juicy if
not overcooked.
Another way to go with cukes:
