Here is how you can get the most bang for your buck when buying whole chicken, which is usually quite a bit cheaper than buying the boneless, skinless, breasts, which is what I typically buy. Here is what I did with my whole chicken!
Chicken and Gravy over Mashed Potatoes with Biscuits
Directions:
-Place whole chicken in crock pot, breast side up.
-Add your favorite chicken seasoning rub on top.
-Let cook on low about 10 hours, if frozen.
-Shred the cooked chicken and place on a platter, separating from the bones, skin, and fat. (I placed all the bones and excess on a plate to use for broth later.)
-Use the juices to make a chicken gravy in a skillet using cornstarch to thicken.
-Place all of the bones, skin, and fat, back into the crock pot.
-Fill the crock pot with water and cook on low overnight. (I cooked mine about 24 hours before I got a chance to work on it).
-I made biscuits according to the directions on a box of Gluten Free Bisquick and they turned out amazing!
-I also made mashed potatoes.
-I plated the mashed potatoes, put a biscuit or two on top, added the shredded chicken, and topped with the chicken gravy.
-After the chicken broth was finished in the crock pot, I strained it into separate containers and added salt to freeze for later use.
We really got a lot of use out of this one chicken!
Enjoy!
