27 days agoWow that is truly blowing my mind lol I guess I forgot that they use different breeds for whole chickens which run smaller. And the woody breast thing is a symptom of the birds getting huge really fast so I should have inferred they were getting that big but it’s just like tripping me out. Like a dinosaur chicken lol. Chicken sourcing is tough right now, especially if purchasing from a farm is out of the question, and unfortunately, for most it is. Glad you rescued that one! Good luck out there!
I prefer batch cooking to meal prep. A burrito rolled on Sunday does not taste good on Wednesday. At all. However, keeping a batch of lentils or quinoa or farro or wilted greens in the fridge leads to easy and healthy meals throughout the week. Soups, salads, bowls, frittatas, scrambles, cakes, etc. All come together in seconds by combining a batch grain with whatever produce I have.
