Save money + free chicken broth with the carcass + render extra fat for cooking
Whole chickens are the way

Also when done it makes epic bone broth/stock ✊🫶✊
Ive been thinking about doing this. Do you just take everything off then throw the pulled apart body into a boiling pot for broth?
Yep exactly
The big problem with chickens are the feed. It's extremely difficult to source chickens in their ancestral likeness.
I purchase bulk from Miller's and store in a space freezer. Pastured, no soy or corn, ancestrally grazed and rotated, reasonable supplemental feed.
