As I understand, the dish originated as a way to cook the oldest chicken in the yard. As in that tough old rooster.
Saw my Grandfather Cooksey (in Isola, MS) step out onto the back porch one afternoon and shoot the head off of a chicken at maybe 40 feet with his old 45 revolver.
He was quite a guy. Born in 1888 and died in 1968. Still think about him a lot. Old time cotton farmer. Saw him plow with a 2 mule team back in my younger days. He really loved those mules.
Sadly, they broke the mold after Papa Cooksey and don't make men like him anymore.
