How Do You Make One Chicken Last A Week?
This article tells you how to make a week’s worth of meals for you and your family/roomies/friends out of only one chicken and a handful of veggies. • Buy one roaster or fryer chicken. Either one will work, but keep in mind that roasters will yield more meat per bird, and are generally higher quality meat than your average fryer. But, fryers are usually much cheaper than roasters per pound and sometimes you can get a buy-one-get-one free deal which is always a plus. • Reach inside the cavity and take out the bag of gizzards and livers. Throw this away or cook and give to the cat. Some people also like to eat these, boiled or breaded and fried. • Put the chicken in a roasting pan or 13 x 9 baking pan which has 1 TBSP of olive/canola oil spread around the bottom. Surround with chopped potatoes, yellow onion, and squash if desired (makes a nice balanced meal). • Bake it in a pre-heated 400F oven until done, about 45 minutes to one hour. You will know the chicken is done when you pierce it
