Howya!
I like to buy the whole chicken or Varies Partes on markdown (.75 a pound or less) and have Anoreth cook it and dissect it. Then I make chicken salad - either lettuce wraps or sandwiches, depending on what I’m seeing on the scale!
Sometimes I save the broth, but when I can get a quart of fat-free, low-sodium Swanson broth for $1.00, it seems like a waste of effort to save it.
Howdy!
I generally buy leg quarters because they are always on sale somewhere around here for .49 a pound in 10 pound bags. I find them to be about the most versatile cut.
I’ll toss the carcass from a roasted chicken in a ziplock bag and stick in the freezer until I have enough to haul out the 30 quart stock pot, then I freeze the stock in quarts for when I want to make chicken and dumplings or soup. For all other purposes I buy canned broth as well!!!!
