Portions of a whole chicken can be added to a variety of recipes like chicken salad, broths, soups, and so much more. Cooking a whole chicken is an affordable way to feed an entire family or one or two people for multiple meals. However, the idea of preparing whole chicken can be intimidating or seem too time-consuming. It’s tempting to just grab a rotisserie chicken at your local grocery store, but many of those birds are raised in a conventional paradigm and may have been prepared with additives. Sourcing your own pasture raised (and certified organic, if possible!) whole chicken from a producer you trust is the best way to ensure that you’re eating the best protein you possibly can. These recipes will give you some great ways to prepare and re-purpose a whole chicken in your own kitchen this week!
