I have to say up front that I’m not using all of the chicken because I didn’t raise the chicken, I didn’t harvest the chicken, and I didn’t prepare the chicken for cooking.
But I am doing my best at making the most of the chicken that I did purchase from the farmer.
Yesterday,
I roasted it and I took off all the meat for eating.
I added water to the roasting pan, to get as much of the goodness out of the bottom of the pan
I used the bones to make a broth
I skimmed off the chicken fat for frying potatoes in
I preserved the broth for future meals
Today, well, today I preserved the broth and I used leftover meat to make a hot chicken sandwich, which Rick loved.
That’s a whole lot of meals out of one little chicken.
