Feel free to add recipes or more appropriate information.
I picked one of the bigger ones. It's a trade off. In the past I've found the bigger ones have more meat but may not be cooked thru. This one was perfectly cooked. Maybe the staff got a memo to cook them just a tad longer to be safe?
Dissecting a Costco Chicken
Picked up a Costco rotisserie Chicken and decided to find out what I could get out of it. YMMV.
Price of chicken $4.99. If my math is right that's $.11 an oz. for meat or $1.76 a pound.
2 pounds 13 oz. of edible skin and meat
2 pounds 2 oz. bones, grizzle etc.
4 oz. juice from the container
- discarded container, kidneys and string -
Chicken bone broth
bones, skin: non edible parts (minus the kidneys)
1 bay leaf
a few pepper corns
some chopped carrot, celery, onion
a few clove garlic crushed
about a half to a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
the pan drippings or juice from the Costco container
water to cover
I don't add salt because I feel there is enough from the chicken. Simmer in pot until the carcass and veggies have lost their virtue or overnight in crockpot. If using a crock pot the broth is done when the bones crush when squeezed between the thumb and finger. Drain and cool quickly so as not to sour. Use, freeze, can or refrigerate the broth.
