Well it wouldn't be a Sunday without asking...

What's your favourite part of a full roast chicken?

Mines the skin.

Also extra large chicken does 2 adults for 1 dinner, cat gets some and if I can be arsed I will do a chicken soup on the Monday with the dregs.

Takes note for next Sundays dinner

Your wink in there, but looks more like a drunk face 🤷🏼‍♀️

Love this

Me too! My mum had a name for them but I can’t remember it

Mine is just finishing off.

IVe just munched on dd’s discarded chicken skin, like a feral animal 🙈🙈

Yep, Bread sauce on a roastie with a bit of gravy 😋

I do two small chickens, for four, the meat is more tender and I get extra left over for my lunch on Monday plus 2 carcasses for stock.

The oysters!

The skin and the fat juices, before they solidify! (Crucify me, but the taste is SO good!). I will also throw in some homemade gravy, made with the juices.

Have you looked up bread sauce, ready for your next roast chicken, OP? How far north are you? (Bread sauce is definitely a Thing in Lancashire/Yorkshire, so I was wondering if you were on Shetland, if you've never heard of it before!)

After the skin, obvs. That’s elite. I don’t even eat the oysters secretly in the kitchen as chefs perks - I’ve cooked it, I’ll eat what I damn like. Always put them both on my plate sod everyone else!

You make a gravy from Yorkshire pudding mix?

The Oysters. I cooked a 1.7kg chicken today, it fed four adults (and I have enough left for a chicken pasta salad for tomorrow’s lunch - which may also last until Tuesday if I bulk it out with extra chopped peppers and sweetcorn).

Those are what PPs are calling the oysters 🙂

I read that and wondered why I've never thought of doing it! Great idea.

Well I’m 53 and I had to google chicken oysters!!! Never heard them called that before!

I've found my gang

Can someone pls post a pic of the oysters part? No idea what it is!

Scotland! Defo heard of it from a Welsh friend but never had it, should I be adding this to the weekly roast?

Skin gets eaten by me as soon as it’s out of the oven as it’s clearly the best bit. Then legs and wings are the best meat, eaten with all the roast dinner trimmings inc Yorkshire puddings and any skin I didn’t scoff earlier. Breast is overrated and usually goes in wraps next day with peppers, onions, guacamole, chilli, cheese and rice etc. like a burrito. Anything left goes in a risotto made with stock from carcass or add prawns and chorizo and call it paella. I like value from a chicken. It’s only DH and me.

Skin queen 👸

Just had to go in the recycling to find the chicken packaging mine says 2.072kg, you literally are feeding 4 plus leftovers. Mind blown 🤯

Yes defo carcasses for stock always. I did three roast chickens for a late Xmas lunch when all turkey had gone. Three carcasses in the freezer for stock. Yum.

Love your chicken burrito Monday dinner!

Always use batter mix to thicken the gravy
