2. Learn How to Raise and Hunt Halal Chicken The practice of Halal (lawful) slaughtering animals has been around since the seventh century, and it gained popularity worldwide with the Arab conquest of the Middle East and the resulting prohibition on cruelty to animals. The first Muslims in the United States brought Halal food to their new homeland, and the tradition continued to spread southward, reaching countries in Europe and Asia. Many scholars believe that the first Halal chicken was created in Sicily. The Persians also raised Halal cows and bulls, but the animals had to be slaughtered by a veterinarian, while other domestic animals such as cats and dogs were allowed to live. Although animals cannot provide food or shelter, Halal has come to mean more than simple survival: it means peace of mind.

3. It's not necessary to raise animals for their meat, as long as they are humanely slaughtered according to Islamic law. There are several ways to humanely kill an animal, including beheading, sword cutting, shooting, and drowning. The methods are often differentiated according to the way the animal loses its life: by being stunned, burning, electrocution, or drowning. Many experts believe that because most animals die quickly after being slaughtered in these ways, the meat is not Halal and should not be sold as Halal chicken in Muslim markets. In contrast, most non-Islamic meat must be slaughtered in a way that causes as much pain as possible, in order to qualify as Halal. Fried chicken, for example, is not Halal, according to Islamic law. The Arabic language is the principal medium used in the preparation of Halal chicken, and the Islamic legal codes prohibit the use of alcohol and caffeine. The methods used to kill animals and preserve the meat are thus different from those used to prepare Halal chicken. A large percentage of the world's population favors Halal chicken, and it has become quite acceptable for ordinary people to cook and eat halal meat. However, not all Muslims consider Halal as a symbol of religious devotion. In fact, in many regions of the world, Islamic law requires a minashar (restraining) period following the slaughter of an animal, which usually takes place four to eight hours after the initial killing. In countries like Morocco, where Islamic law strictly prohibits the killing of

4. animals, only poultry and small game may be slaughtered without a minashar. It is difficult to obtain halal meat, and it can even be very costly. In Arab countries, Halal food is also usually not served at weddings. Islamic food service does not exclude Halal chicken or any other type of poultry from its menu. In fact, some Islamic food service establishments have even started preparing products including chicken in this manner, to make the process more convenient for customers. Some restaurants and hotels have also started Halal chicken dishes, which can be ordered through the Internet or through local telephone directories. Some halal chicken dishes include pakoras (stuffed chicken), tandoori chicken, and chicken

5. kebabs. These dishes can either be bought in restaurants or prepared at home. The important thing is that Halal meat must be slaughtered by a professional, and that the process must be done with utmost hygiene. The most common methods used to slaughter Halal animals are electric stun, mechanical shackling, and carbon dioxide stunning. Before an animal is stunned, its throat is first closed using a rubber band, so that the lungs are fully compressed and cuts are made in the membrane between the throat and neck. Because Halal animals cannot feel the effects of electricity, mechanical shackling or carbon dioxide stunning is used.

6. While traditional Methods of slaughtering are still used today in some regions of the world, there has been much progress in modern Halal food service and in preserving Halal meat products. Modern techniques, such as water-bath stunning, have made it easier to effectively stunned animals. Water-bath stunning involves submerging the animals in a large amount of water - usually half a cubic meter - which rapidly renders it unconscious. Then, a low electric voltage is used to stun the animals, making them bleed out through their wounds. In general Halal chicken is not as popular as it was in the past. This may be because some consumers are turned off by the idea of owning a chicken, and because it is difficult to find Halal poultry. However, as demand for Halal poultry and other types of Halal food rises, so will the demand for Halal chicken. With new Halal chicken dishes being developed and researched every day, it could soon become more mainstream.
