No Waste Way to Cook Whole Chicken

I love a good no-waste recipe and method to make sure that our family is getting the most out of our money and also just being good stewards of what we've been given. Cooking a whole chicken is a great opportunity for no waste! Here's how you do it...

Roast chicken for dinner

Use the leftover chicken to make pesto chicken salad

Save the bones in a freezer bag until you're ready to make Bone Broth

After you've made your broth, remove the bones and make Bone Meal

Fertilize your garden!


Would you try this?? I personally love that I can use the entire chicken to both nourish our family with good meals and feed my garden! It stretches so far making your money spent on quality chicken even more worth it! I get my whole chickens from Wild Pastures (save 20% off your box for life) and my chicken feet from Millers Farm.

PS: School is starting back up all over the country, and I know I'm stocking up on supplements to keep my family healthy! Earthley is having a 20% off sale on their immune boosters. Shop here!
