I harvest all the meat, chop it up, mix it with taco sauce, shredded cheese, and pinto beans, then wrap it up in several dozen burrito-sized tortillas, then wrap in parchment paper and freeze them. It makes a cheap and delicious ready-to-microwave lunch whenever I don’t feel like making something more complicated for lunch.
Then I throw the remaining bones and skin and bits into my instant pot, add a few quarts of water, some salt, some bits of carrot, onion, celery, and make a bunch of chicken stock…which I freeze into ice cubes and use for cooking other things.
I try to get a rotisserie chicken every time I’m there…it’s one of the most economical sources of protein you can get.
The broth is definitely a great idea. I don’t really get the rotisseries but I cook my own whole chickens, and you get way more out of it when you also make broth. I use a regular crockpot and then use the broth for tons of different things like casseroles and soups.
