You will be pleased to hear that our chicken did NOT end up in the bin.
Yes – ‘only’ 86,000,000 chickens thrown away this year, not 86,000,001.
One chicken turned into:
- Roast Chicken with all the trimmings on Saturday before Student Son went back to Uni.
- Chicken Kurma using half the leftover chicken which was as tasty as usual.
- Chicken, Courgette and Feta
FrittataCrustless Quiche with the remaining chicken was very good and will have to be made again. It’s clearly very versatile – I chucked in a few different veg that needed using up and it was delicious. - The chicken stock gave our Leek and Potato Soup a gorgeous rich flavour, and we still have a litre of chicken stock in the freezer as we had a last minute change of plan.
In the end it cost just over £21 for the four meals, and that was starting with a free range chicken.
