I find it’s so much easier to debone the chicken while it’s still warm, especially if you want it shredded. You can also boil the carcass with veggies and seasonings to make the most wonderful stock (just did it yesterday). But then it’s just me and my husband without all the craziness of young family life.
Most weeks I do buy 2 rotisserie chickens from sams club. I debone and keep the breast meat for our recipes and chicken salad. The dark meat is used to make my doggies food.
Have you seen the hack of deboning by throwing the whole chicken in a gallon baggie and massaging it until the meat falls off the bone? 🤔 I haven’t tried it but you should do it and report back! 😂
