Recipes With Roasted Chicken: 5 Easy Meals

Generously rub the chicken with salt, pepper, fragrant garlic, and then bake it until crisp — a classic, foolproof recipe for cooking delicious poultry. However, Cook It encourages you to take it a step further: use parts of baked chicken for cooking other dishes. Roasting a whole chicken is perfect for meal prep. See how easy it is to make these five recipes with roasted chicken. Also provided a recipe for oven-roasted spicy chicken with potatoes.

To begin with, remove the skin from the baked chicken. Cut it into parts: separate the wings, legs, fillets. Separate the shanks from the chicken thighs.

How To Get Five Meals From One Chicken

1. Fragrant Chicken Broth From Bones

Place the carcass in a pot and cover it with 35 fl oz (1 l) of water. Add 2–3 allspice berries, bay leaf, 1 whole peeled carrot, celery stalk, washed, unpeeled onion, a couple of garlic cloves. Cook for 1 ½–2 hours. Strain the finished broth, store it in the refrigerator.

2. Appetizing Wings and Thighs

Transfer the baked chicken parts to a small baking dish, generously brush with BBQ tomato sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, put in the oven for 5 minutes to brown at 360 °F.

3. Crispy Chips

Place chicken skin on a baking sheet in one layer. Season with salt and pepper, and bake at 360 °F for 10 minutes.

4. Chicken Breast Sandwich

Spread a slice of bread with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Put lettuce, a couple of tomato slices, and a few slices of thinly cut chicken breast on top. Cover with a second slice of bread.

5. Ramen With Chicken

Place cooked noodles in a deep bowl, add finely chopped celery and chili. Tear the chicken thigh meat into fibers and add to the rest of the ingredients. Season to taste, cover with hot broth.

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
