Roasted Chicken

[mattwc]

Hi people!

Have been trying to find a convenient (and cheapish) source of chicken for my evening (dinner) meal.

I have been using Chop Chop chicken. I was wondering if it would be worthwhile buying a roasted chicken, stripping the skin off and putting the meat into containers. I think this would supply about 3 evening meals of meat.

Has anyone does this before?

Cheers!

really tasty but, they are often injected with fat to keep them "juicy"

Yep, it may be convenient but it has definite drawbacks...

Ever considered simply buying some frozen chickens, roasting them in an oven bag once you've skinned them, and then keeping the meat in the fridge... just jam it in the oven for two hours while you're watching th tv or the 'net. I get a couple of days worth of meat from an average #14, and you get much more control over what you're eating.

I eat a roast chicken from New World over two days. Which is four meals.

Woolworths has two roast chickens for $10 this week.

Convenient and cheap source of chicken = roasted chicken if you don't care about fat. I would be wary of stretching this over too many days though for salmonella reasonings...

Surely your body can't process any near a whole chicken at a time?

You can eat an entire roast chicken in one go! Amazing.

I do it. Go into Foodtown just before closing, and if they've cooked too many chickens, they'll be on wicked specials. If it's a really good deal, I'll buy two and throw one in the freezer. Dunno whether that's advisable or not, but I haven't died yet.

yeah! i like to get at least a good size 20 though - you seem to get a LOT more meat off them, and when you buy the frozen chickens they're often on special and can have up to $5 off.. that's when you stock up :grin:

Chop Chop is really a convienience food. Grab some chicken breast on special from the Mad Butcher. You can get about 5 in a George which is 5 meals. As its cooked you can keep it in the fridge for a couple days. Nice and easy and you don't have it cooking in fat.
