Don't be daft, I'm still eating the chicken. How long will it keep for?

Not very.. you've been eating for 36 hours!! :eek:

I'd say 5-6 days too.. but then I pick furry bit off bread and eat the remaining unfurry bits.. I don't like eating furry bits! :A

If you are all fired up to soup make you could cut off the rest of the meat and freeze it for later use?

I'm too tired to answer questions but you should get some more ideas on here;

Home made chicken stock

So, a bloke went into the shop and bought a chicken...
:hello:

It was me. I was in ASDA and I saw the roast chickens, and couldn't resist. Now I know I should have bought a fresh one and cooked it, but I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment.

The main thing I want to do with it is make soup from the carcass. I have very fond memories of the turkey soup my gran used to make after every Christmas, so I need to have a go. :drool:

My first question needs to be asked before it's too late. I am currently working my way through the meat for sandwiches and snacks etc, and giving Spaghetti the bits I don't want. The question is, do I need to save any of the meat for the soup? Normally there'd be a reasonable amount left after I'd picked over the carcass, but with Spaghetti helping there really isn't going to be much left at all. :rolleyes:

I've got a couple of carrots, spuds and some mushrooms - oh, and peppers. Vegetable stock cubes etc. Anything else you think I might need?

I will need all sorts of help on this one.....

Cheers, :beer:

Hi there! As this has now fallen from the front page of Old Style, I'll add it to the existing thread on Rubber chicken

Where did MrBE's posts go? It looks like Churchie and I are talking to ourselves. Was it that big a disaster MrBE? :cool:

Wow,
There's loads of ideas on here guys, I'm quite good at stretching a chicken but you've given me food for thought no pun intended.
When OH is cooking he has to always use up most of the meat on the one meal and then goes back nibbing all evening, what a waste, that's why he's much bigger than me:rotfl:
I'll go back and read the rest of the posts.

Hi Lindsay,

There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas and links that should help so I've added your post to it to keep all the suggestions together.
