1 Chicken 1 Person

[Stevenj214]

One small-medium chicken to feed one person. How many meals would it do you for? What would they be?

2, Eat most the chook one night, then boil the carcass for stock and use the remainder of the meat for Chook noodle soup for the next night.

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.

Get a Sheepdrove Farm chicken from Waitrose and even though you may be thinking "WTF? £10 for a chicken?" it is so tasty that 3 meals for two are easily achieved.

Save every bit of roasted crispy skin and wing tip for stock.

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.

One person
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

I have usually scoffed the skin by the time I've finished the carving

Eat the roasted leg meat; much more flavour. Then, the breast should still be tender enough for a sauce or a pie.

That could easily be one meal with some relish and a 6 pack of fresh baps.

1 Chicken + 1 Person = 1 Meal. (Of chicken.)

Roast it. Put it on a plate. Pull it to bits and eat it. Get the "meat sweats." Sleep.

I could so easily be a meatatarian.

(Cheaper than a takeaway when you have a night to yourself.)

Baps are good.
