Literally just put it in the oven and it’ll taste infinitely better, boiling meat is prison-tier

>>19124562
Bake it on the rack, with a 9×9 of potatoes and onions chopped up under it. Stuff the chicken with cut up lemons and rosemary. Pepper the skin.

Stovetop only, assholes, I don't have an oven, of course baking it would be much better.

>>19124578
>I don't have an oven

>>19124578
Sorry, I posted >>19124565 before reading the rest of your post. Chop it up, cook it with salt, pepper, paprika, and some cheapass sauce, and serve over rice

>>19124562
Break it down into its parts. You can fillet the breast, cut it lengthwise and pound it into cutlets that will cook evenly and will take to breading well. Other pieces you can sear on high heat with minimal oil (if any) to develop a crispy crust, then braise them in some kind of liquid (anything works, from water to storebought stock to beer or wine) with the crispy side exposed.

>>19124562
why'd you buy a whole chicken if you don't have an oven to bake it in, retard

also, just chop it into smaller pieces and make pan sauces. if you start it skin side over medium heat the fat will render first so it's pretty easy to cook the chicken first then deglaze the pan with some wine or broth

This rat looks better fed and happier than me, good going little friend.

Feeling too lazy for actual cutting up but these sound ok and I might get to that tomorrow

>>19124586
saw the movie called Williard, it was not bad.

Wtf are you fucking poor or something?

>>19124614
Even poor people have ovens. My guess is he's homeless.

>>19124607
A little bit of sauce and rice goes a long way, from one poorfag to another

What I am is not American, apartments don't come with a stove/oven here in the third world.

>>19124621
Rice and beans all day everyday, I even enjoy them, but the whole chicken was cheap and I might even learn something new.

As a fellow poor person there is nothing wrong with poaching the whole thing, picking the meat off and portioning it up. You're not going to eat a whole god damn chicken by yourself. Throw the carcass back in the poaching liquid with some veggies and now you've got stock and enough meat to make a few meals.

>>19124562
soup sock it anon

>What I am is not American, apartments don't come with a stove/oven here in the third world.
Toaster oven? If you haven't thought about that you are asian, poor and stupid.

Cut it up legs thigh breast ect...
Fry the legs and thigh
Boil the breast and pull and make chicken salad

The heat of the oven cooks the chicken.

>>19124562
If you're going to boil it, make a short stock first by boiling onions, carrots, celery, herbs and spices in the water, first
Also make sure the water is pretty salty

>>19124631
Brasil?

If you can make fire, you can make an oven. An oven is just bricks or shit around a fire.

>>19124642
That was the original plan but thought I could ask and see if anything interesting turns up. Stay strong, fellow poorfag

>>19124652
I can just skim it and get clear broth, no sock needed

>>19124653
I'll get a proper stove sooner rather than later, but I'll try to find a cheap second hand toaster oven meanwhile

>>19124656
Is there a way to make a decent chicken salad that isn't half mayo? I'm not a fan

>>19124674
If there is a fire in my oven then something has gone terribly wrong.

>>19124674
Kinda have a point

>>19124674
>if you own a magnet, you can make a microwave. A microwave is just metal or shit around a magnet.

>>19124687
My family used to dig a hole in the ground and do this, good times

>>19124692
>fire is to ovens as diode vacuum tubes in which the flow of electrons from a central cathode to a cylindrical anode is controlled by crossed magnetic and electric fields; used mainly in microwave oscillators, are to microwave ovens.
Very high IQ take, thank you,

Having dirt to dig into sounds amazing, but then I remember the countryside is full of extreme christcucks and change my mind

>>19124668

>I’d rather not have dirt to dig in or an oven than deal with people who believe in Christ.
You’re lost, son.

>>19124819
Why did religion get into this?
I was just saying for the price of a few cinderblocks and some grates you could smoke a great pig

>>19124854
There's also narcos and narco run states and narco imposed curfews, but the catholics annoy me the most (I have a vagina and they demand I breed. I refuse. [/no spoiler in /ck/]

And I do realize this little blog kills the thread. I'll go cut up my chicken now.

Yeah and make me a sandwich, where is my beer?

>>19124674
>>19124562
This. Light a fire in your house and kill yourself OP.

>>19124562
Whole chickens are great to experiment with.You can make many different things. If I had a whole chicken and no oven I’d break the chicken down and make a huge pot of gumbo.

Slow roast it in a covered pan at 250F for a few hours. When you can easily separate the meat from the bones, you'll know it's done. Strip the meat from the bones and save it for later, use the drippings for soup, and the rendered fat for a variety of things. The skin will be soft and chewy unless you unlid the pot and broil it at the end, so either broil it or save the skin for something else like dumpling filling, stirfry, or dog treats.
Also throw some herbs and spices before roasting. It'll add flavor.
If you want to try your hand at it, you could cut the chicken up into different cuts like breast, legs, quarters, and so forth although that's a bit more effort that throwing it in a pot. I'd recommend against just boiling the whole chicken in water as-is, the meat will be rubbery and flavorless. If your want to just make broth then use just the fresh bones after cutting off the meat.

>>19124562

chop that shit up. throw thighs, wings, and legs in a pot with ginger, onion, garlic

soy sauce, water, sugar in 1:1:0.5-0.75 ration to cover. cook for 45 minutes.

throw the breasts to the dogs.

eat over white rice. you're welcome.

>>19124562
Nevermind. Didn't didn't read the part at the end about being a ovenlet. Watch some videos on how to quarter a chicken. don't boil it straight.

>>19124562
Remove bones and skin
Use bones for stock, render the fat out of the skin, chicken fat is really high quality, don't do the boiling thing, it takes forever just throw it in a pan on low or in the oven
Sear the breasts and cook then in some kind of sauce, serve with rice. That's 4 meals
Stir fry the thighs with noodles and Vegetables thats 4 more meals
Use half the stock to make soup and half the stock to make stew that's 8 more meals
You can even eat the fried skin. If you didn't undercook it or overcook it
Anyways that chicken just fed you for a whole week
Make bread to eat with the soup and stew, making bread is dirt cheap and easy

Noted and saved, I'll do these in the future.
For now, seared the skin, deglazed with onions and a beer I found in the back of the fridge, and now the meat is back in the pan. Added legs and thighs first and breast just went in, just waiting for everything to get up to temp. Making stock with the rest, will use the meat in some taquitos.

Thank you everyone and good night.

>>19125303
Sounds good.

>>19125303
By the way you can make flatbread without an oven
