Too much month at the end of your money? These tips will help you to cut costs when cooking chicken for your family.

  • Roast a whole chicken and enjoy everything it has to offer. Use the carcass for stock and the giblets to make delicious sauces and gravies.
  • Bulk up chicken dishes with healthy, budget-friendly legumes (e.g. beans and chickpeas). Go for dried instead of canned beans, as they tend to cost less.
  • Use local, seasonal fruit and vegetables to make delicious chicken dishes. You’ll save money and enjoy the freshest produce there is.
  • Don’t throw out that last bit of rice in the pot. Use it as a stuffing for chicken the next day.
  • Grow your own herbs. You’ll waste less and save more.
  • Lemons pair wonderfully with chicken and cost very little if picked from your own lemon tree. Get planting!
