buying whole chickens now. cheaper than just buying thighs. more meat. little bit extra work but it's actually fun to butcher when you get good. also roasting whole birds full of celery and carrots is SO GOATED.
favorite part is throwing the veggie stuffings, fat, bones and bits in a stock pot with a few peppercorns. my house smells good and the windows are foggy. at the end of it all, i get a tupperware full of meat, and a quart of EXTREMELY concentrated chicken stock. licked the spoon after ladling it into a huge mason jar and ZING that shit healed me. +5 CON +20 HP +10 STA. if i don't make the most banging soup soon, all my stock will be GONE cuz i'll just be drinking that shit STRAIGHT UP!!!
