Chicken On The Run


Rotisserie or roasted chicken is usually available in most grocery stores and is a very versatile item that can easily be turned into a variety of meals. When you are done with the chicken meat, you can use the carcass to make a simple stock. Place all bones in a medium stock pot, cover with water and add ½  an onion, a few stalks of celery, a carrot chopped up and some fresh herbs if you have them. Bring to a boil, turn down heat and simmer an hour or so. Cool and strain liquid from bones. Discard bones and vegetables. Use stock as a base for soups or sauces. Vegetables (especially broccoli) tastes delicious when simmered in stock. 

Rotisserie chickens are also very economical, both on the wallet and on your energy use. I always like to have one or two on hand when traveling or camping.

From one rotisserie chicken I've created several different recipes that feed six very hungry people.
