Costco Chicken

This chicken goes a long way with all the leftovers we can get out of it. The first night, we removed the extremities and ate those along with leftover brown rice and green beans. Tonight, I cut up one side of the body, shredded up the meat, and made chicken tacos. On the side were a can of Mexicorn, corn tortillas, salsa verde, chopped cilantro and onion, and guacamole. Again, that creme fraiche came in handy and tasted great in the tacos. We plan on using the last half of the chicken body, along with the side ingredients, to make chicken quesadillas. I'm going to have to make sure to get plenty of veggies into this last dinner. That leaves us with the carcass. Should I save it to make chicken stock?

you probably won't get a nice rich chicken stock out of the carcass, but definitely make a light broth out of it!
