Name a more based food than a cooked supermarket/rotisserie chicken. These are incredible. Cheap, versatile, convenient. They're actually a marvel of economies of scale and food technology. From selective breeding to transport, logistics, to down to the supermarket perfection of always having one stocked yet minimizing waste due to the analytics of sales.

I spread 1 chicken over 3 days and get multiple meals out of it. Two legs/thighs for lunch (with sides). Then I use a knife pull off the breasts which I use for sandwiches or stir frys. I go through and pick off every bit of meat I can from the skin and fat and then use the carcass/bones and bag drippings plus an onion and carrot and some.fresh herbs from my garden to make a stock. I use that to make chicken noodles soup or just use the stock as braising liquid. Nothing is wasted I even use the fat that hardens once I cool the stock to add richness and fat to casseroles, or even fry eggs in it.

It's such a based food and you basically waste nothing. I keep the skin on the breasts and the rest goes into the stock and then I pick it out and feed it to my cat who loves it.

All hail the rotisserie chicken!

I buy those bitches a couple times a month and go feral just ripping them up into chiggin bits for chicken salad or to toss in my hangover soups.

Sometimes the skin is slimy BUT DON'T EVER WASTE THE SKIN. I keep any errant skin, chop it up, and then crisp it in a skillet so I can mix it into my chiggin salad or top my veggie salads or my soups. The skin is almost bacon if you care to use it properly.

Yes the skin is good wapecially if it's been covered with herbs and flavorings I fry it I a pan with sunflower oil until its super crispy and, sounds weird but sometimes i sprinkle it on pasta instead of cheese.

The breaat is the worst part though? My favorite part if a chicken is the legs, then thighs, then the wings, then the stock you make, then all the little bits you pick off especially the oysters, then the skin, then finally the breasts which are essentially just flavorless protein with no fat and can be pretty dry. I don't knownwhy people like breasts so much. I think they're conditioned by the pricing in supermarkets to think more expensive = better. Kind of like filet mignon. It's super expensive when it's literally just texturelsss meat with no fat? Short ribs, skirt, chuck stuck, ribeye, marrow and bones for beef stock are the best. Quite like cheeks as well when they're braised.

I find them to all be pretty much similar, I go for whichever is cheapest or on sale. If they do a garlic&herb one, that is a bonus but since Sams is $4.99 per chicken, I try to stay close to that price.

They are definitely one of the better prepared foods that you can buy. When they have them on sale for $6-7, I'm honestly not sure that you'd save any money buying a raw one and running your oven for an hour.

My only complaint is that they tend to get overcooked during the cooking, then sitting under heat lamps. The breast meat is always kind of dry, and has that overcooked consistency (and the skin is always kind of limp and soggy).That's the only reason I'd want to roast my own in the oven. But I can't remember the last time I've roasted my own whole chicken.

Does anyone actually say that?
Admittedly, my homemade ice cream is way better than anything I've ever bought out but my machine b0rk'd and I haven't gotten around to getting a new one.
It's literally never had any issue with thickening up.
Shopbought can be fine enough, but I'm under no illusions that the addition of thickeners like carrageenan are there as a cost-saving measure.
To be honest? I use a cornstarch slurry in my vanilla base to help it set because I don't know any alternative ways to help it along beyond using yoghurt or cultured cream.

Off topic but I stumbled onto a recipe that was super cheap for me.
Basically its that Walmart "Fiesta Blend" cheese and some Gallo's pepperoni slices sandwiched between two Mission tortillas, fried in a pan on both sides like a flapjack. Nothing else, it costed about 15-20 dollars for 1-2 weeks of food until they stopped selling the 16oz packs for $5.
