Gram used to call this “Scotching the chicken” and we have always done it, but we start before the roasting by removing some of the fat, and the neck and add that to the stock pot. Later all the dark meat, since we were all white meat fans,goes into the stock pot. Extra stuffing and some white meat goes into the extra gravy for a side dish anoather day, and the balance goes to chicken salad.
NOW I’M HUNGRY! Thanks girlfriend!

“Scotching the chicken?” I scotched it to death, for sure. In fact, after all was said and done that chicken made TWELVE meals, because we had leftovers a couple of times! I shoulda made stuffing…I love stuffing, but I don’t make it well.

While I don’t do 7 meals from a single whole chicken, I do usually go for 3 or so. And I’m not opposed to freezing my fingers off so I defrost and dig out the viscera so I do that whole deal.

We usually have either boiled or roasted chicken for the first meal, and then a leftover meal of something like chicken enchiladas or chicken curry. And of course the homemade chicken broth is good for use in a meal or by itself (especially now in the winter time).

I definitely like this way of cooking. It’s frugal, creative, and awesome!

Ick. I don’t like to put my hand in an icy bird! I don’t make curry, but I should. Tumeric is supposed to be good for your heart. I’m wanting to try my hand at some more types of frugal cooking. Too bad you don’t post recipes.

I know you were not including me in that last two questions, unless you meant did I plan for Leon to pick up Chipotle or Pollo Tropical more than 20 minutes ahead.

Not bad, Shelly, just under 39 cents per person per meat serving. And it all sounds yummy.

I’m cooking tonight, though, and I planned to do it last night!

I actually did even better, because some of our meals had leftovers to use for lunch the next day. I know a post about meat is not meant for your vegetarian eyes But, sometimes I have to do it. At least I didn’t write about bacon and make you all wistful.
