You'd get quite a few meals from one chicken if you add a few bits.
Chop the wings off and freeze them 'til you've lots of them, then
Roast the whole bird,
1. 2x leg, roasties and veg,
2, 3, 4. enough breast meat for 3x chicken and mushroom pies, two into the freezer
Boil carcass for stock, optionally freeze that. Make
5. soup.

If you get a decent one then you should be able to do three meals - one roast, then two others, maybe a risotto or a curry or whatever you can think of that you can use cooked chicken in. Then if you're being clever and have the time you can boil the carcass for stock and make a soup.

Whole bird - roast, use the breasts for a roast chicken meal.
Whatevers left the day after,I strip the bird and sometimes there's enough of breast for a chicken sandwich..but the rest often stick it in one of those chicken tonight sauces.
I'm not particularly fond of chicken as it's fairly bland, so don't have it often.

One chicken plus other stuff (quite a lot of other stuff, to be fair) = 17 meals. Seventeen
