Cheap Chicken Cooking Lets cook up some chicken, Here i got 3kg of chicken bits , legs thighs and drumsticks. This is the cheap chicken meat you can get big bags like this from the freezer. I find these cuts more flavoursome and also cheaper. For some reason the breast meat is expensive. So when I cook I do it in large batches and once de boned , I boil the bones to make chicken stock and also freeze the cooked chicken to use at a later date with a whole range of dishes and salads. Saves time and why not use the heat of the cooker to cook all your food in one go.
