The Whole Chicken Week: One bird, five meals, zero waste

Nadia Wren

A single roast chicken can quietly feed a household all week if you know how to work it. This is the plan: how to carve smart the first night, what to do with the carcass before it hits the trash, a stock that simmers while you sleep, and five distinct meals that never taste like leftovers. Practical kitchen math for anyone who wants to spend less and waste nothing, told with warmth and zero pretension.
