Recipe for Florida Chicken (Armadillo)

Rules of the Road Kill
1. Freshness is always the rule (if it's still there on your way home, it's too late)
2. Semi-squashed is much better than squashed; anything clobbered by an 18-wheeler is absolutely undesirable
3. Blacktop surfaces are much preferred over dirt roads; concrete is a gourmet's delight
4. Remember the early bird catches the...ah, worm!
