I like to buy whole chickens when I do buy chicken.
The difference in cost between someone else cutting up your whole chicken, and you doing it yourself, is staggering.
I used to preserve chicken by canning it, years ago, when we lived in Iowa, so cutting up a whole chicken is quite easy for me. It’s one of those skills that I’m proud to have mastered.
Lately I’ve been removing the bones from the breasts, and packaging them boneless. As we enjoy eating milanesas, or breaded chicken breast, it’s easier to just defrost the breasts, pound them out to cutlets, bread them, then fry them. (I could eat these just about daily).
The next batch I do will be using the newest vacuum sealing bags. I can’t wait.
All of the pieces in the bowl have been put in a vacuum bag, and placed in the freezer to be made into a lovely chicken stock sometime in the future.
Hope you enjoyed that little bit.
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy.
