Tips: make your own spice mixtures to match your sides or plans for leftovers. Use paprika, cumin, and chili powder for a bbq profile, or onion, garlic, cumin, and chili powder for a Mexican feel. Or garlic, onion, ginger, and a hint of sesame for an Asian twist.
Use the bones leftover to make chicken stock. Follow my recipe here and skip the browning step since the meat and bones are already cooked. Note that stock made from these bones will also have salt on them, so make sure not to add anymore until it’s fully reduced.
