Waste not chicken

From what it sounds like, you try to take off as much skin as possible. If you have removed all that you can, do try to put the bones in soup if you make homemade soup. Often the bones hold flavor and add to the soup. If you are making something with a chicken broth base, just put the bones in as well. This enhances the soup and you are definitely using the rest of the chicken up. Not sure if this helped you, but it did wonders for my chicken noodle. Good luck! :)

I use every bit of the chicken, skin, fat and bones end up in soup, then the bones go in the trash, if I had chickens or pigs I'd feed it to them, but I don't so in the trash they go. Fat and skin goes in the dogs bowl, soup goes in our bellies. The same thing happens to turkey. Very economical.

Hi Anne and Merry Christmas. I take as much of the meat or flesh off the bone as will easily come off. Save the skin along with the bones. cover it all with water and add a couple of carrots, celery, onions Maybe some garlic turmeric ginger and poultry seasoning and if you have it some instant chicken broth not much but some. simmer this until the rest of the meat falls off the bones or the carrots are mushy. I take carrots,celery and onion and put this in the food processor for soups. Let the chicken cool just enough to handle and remove any remaining meat. The resulting broth is good for any chicken soup you want to make or for gravy or for casseroles.

Use the meat in sandwiches, use it to make chicken pot pie. To make stock, cover the carcass in water and boil it. Add onion, celery leaves, carrot, and any other vegetables such as green and red peppers, along with salt, pepper, bay leaf, star anise (if you happen to be Low German descent), and maybe oregano and fennelseed - or whatever herbs you like. When the meat falls apart, drain the soup through cheesecloth, discard all the veggies, and you have a good chicken soup stock. You can keep the chicken in the freezer and use it next time you make soup.

Whenever I buy a roast chicken or rotisserie chicken I use the leftover chicken to make a casserole with cheese, frozen vegetables, creme of chicken soup, milk and egg noodles. My kids love it and we usually have it a couple days after I bought the chicken. With the leftover chicken bones you could just make a nice chicken noodle soup.

I always use the rest of the chicken to make chicken and dumplings....my husbands favorite. Or I will make chicken salad with it, that is good during the summer!

I am sure you have been cooking long enough to have some ideas about what to do with chicken, you can eat the left overs, makes sandwiches, make soup, make stew or casserole

U can boil the chicken bones for soup ^_^ hehe.. SOup from chicken bones are always delicious although it requires alot of time and patience to do it.. As for the head and skin, i guess there's nothing much u can do with them.. lol =D But u should try the soup though ^_^ Merry christmas and a happy new year to u too ^_^

if you make dressing put it in the dressing. if not make a chicken pot pie, homemade ones are so much better, make chicken & dumplings, poppy seed chicken. there are alot of things u can do with it. i love chicken salad to. nerry christmas.

Maybe boil it and make a broth?

Again, I am of no help. Sorry.

I get as much as I can off the chicken,then I boil the carcass and get lovely liquid off it.The meat that comes of the carcass is enough to make lovely soup or even if you put an onion and veg in you can make a nice stew out of it,the chicken flavour is amazing and make sure you strain it for small bones before you add veg,try it is delicious my mum used to do it when we were kids, cheap but delicious.

Wel, I am sure you will take off the skin. Otherwise, you will have wastage of chicken.

well it;s alot you can do with chicken you can make a chicken salad,you can add chicken pieces to green salad,mske a chicken soup,or better freeze for hard times

Well if you don't like some parts of the chicken , you can cut it off and keep for other dishes like fried rice yea . it will make it delicious to eat although you don't like the part yea .

with the edible leftovers,i do make chicken sandwhich.my kids love it and with the rest,i do make chicken soup. merry christmas.

My mother and my husband both boil the bones and leftover meat on the bones in a big pot, and add vegetables, potatoes, beans, rice and spices to make a really yummy chicken soup. The longer they leave it on to boil, the better it turns out. If you leave it on for a few days, the bones will disolve completely, and this will add a lot of nutrients to the soup.

normally, if we have scrapped the meat of the bones, we still use the bones to make chicken stock for later use..

Put the bones in any soup u make.. it tastes really good... maybe add some vegetables and make some chk vegetables soup.... taste really good..

It's hard to say. Because you have tried you best to take the meat from the chicken. The rest part of the chicken should be eaten difficultly. So I suggest you should leave the bones to your dogs. Let them eat! If you have not a dog, look for one arround your house.
