Life Skill Alert: Roast Chicken

Feed the whole family or make meals all week from the leftovers.

People are shocked by how often I make roast chicken. It’s a rare Sunday when I don’t start the week out by roasting a bird. I love doing this because it makes for a great Sunday night dinner, and the leftovers feed me and my husband all week. If you have a larger family, you might not get quite as much mileage out of your chicken, but it should last a couple days and it’s an easy skill to master.

The only place to start when it comes to roast chicken is with an easy, delicious recipe. Once you have that down, you can move on to all my favorite leftover chicken recipes. There is great variety here so you can truly feed yourself all week without getting bored. Roast on!
