migrant Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 OK the chicken is precooked, and doesn't fit some's idea of creative cooking. I like to cook (or smoke) a chicken myself, but the leftovers can take some creativity to cook with. Some that come to mind Chicken stew, I add lots of veggies and make some dumplings Chicken Paprikash (if you have access to sour cream) Chicken pies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyf Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 We usually make our own roast chicken and it gets shared out to my wife's sister and brother so no leftovers. They are not so keen on the pre cooked so if we do buy one of them the leftovers end up in fried rice or a kapow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can add flavour later, but the point remains that nobody would buy a pre-cooked chicken for reasons of culinary excellence. I am not knocking it, I often buy a Makro pre-cooked chicken to make a sandwich or a salad. Quite. They put various flavours of stuffing inside and some can be really distasteful. I got caught out a few times early doors. Now I stick to known sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dito, but after cooking, my wife takes out the carcasses, peals off the meat and softer bone parts, puts them in a meat cutter or grinder, together with the cooked carrots and other vegetables, and makes dog foot out of them. The reduced soup makes a good chicken stock base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
