I used to think buying a cooked chicken was lazy and wasteful. Then I started tracking it and a $5 bird from Costco gives me 3 meals plus a pot of stock, which is cheaper than two raw breasts at $4 a pound. Last month I fed myself lunch for 11 days straight off two chickens and a bag of rice. The people saying "just cook it yourself" never did the math on gas and time. What's your go-to move with the leftover meat?
