I buy at least one chicken when I'm shopping at Sam's Club. Our family of four finishes off most of the chicken at supper. Or, so it looks. After everyone has eaten, I can still usually get two cups of meat off the bones. I freeze this and save it for chicken pot pies, chicken enchiladas, and sometimes chicken soup.
Typically I also cook the carcass with water and veggie ends, a little chicken stock and make a broth. If I'm making soup, I'll make it now, using meat I've picked off the bones after stock making (there's always some left it seems).
We can usually get three meals out of each chicken - at least. And, I buy them at Sam's for $4.99 a chicken. For me, they are a real deal!
