You mean those cheap chickens they sell at grocery stores that can feed you for days?
I live alone now, and I get less motivated to cook for just myself, but today I felt like I needed to eat healthy. I got a rotisserie chicken and made a nice sandwich with it, pulled most of the meat off the bone and put it in the fridge, then simmered the carcase with celery, onions, carrots, bay leaf, thyme, and salt until it was reduced way down. Strained that into a container, and tomorrow I'll make chicken soup with that, some more of the veggies, and some little potatoes I have leftover. I'll have several meals with a few cheap ingredients. Super cost effective, healthy, and delicious.
This is the way.
Just a few practical tips for those of you wanting to do this, but feel a bit nervous about dealing with the chicken carcass. Disposable gloves are your friend. Pull off every bit of meat you can possibly pull off. It can be frozen and then used for pretty much anything. You can throw it in tacos. You can put it in ramen soup.You can just eat it. You can share it with your dog or cat, if you can afford one.
If you have an Instant Pot cooker, I have the small three quart sized one, it makes it really easy and quick to simmer the carcass and get all that delicious bone broth. The bone broth can also be used for anything savory you're making that requires water like rice, instant stuffing, Ramen, couscous. You get the idea.
so they don't have to have healthcare. Don't forget that this is owned by Murdoch, a truly evil shit stain.
Costco rotisserie chicken is to die for. I mean, literally. Motherfuckers waiting in line for that shit and don't you dare walk in front of the line when they start putting them in the case, you'll get killed.
isn't this the free pastrami for jewish people guy?
“I’ve been eating Rotisserie Chickens at Costco everyday, one a day, for the last 25 years. It all started when Costco came to New York in the 90s, the first one was in Staten Island.”
But then he goes off the deep end about “LED light poisoning”

I was thinking more Fat Bastard, but text isn’t great for conveying Scottish accents in general, let alone the single word response.

I can get frozen chicken bits pretty cheap. My cheap options right now look like a half a kilo plus sauces, or (with some walking) a full kilo, plus no extras.
