A good tip when buying chicken for the chicken breasts, don't buy the breasts, buy the whole chicken and cut it into pieces. It is much cheaper to do this and you get more for your money! Keep the other pieces to use in other recipes or to make a chicken stock.

Making your own stock has so many more benefits than buying ready made. Discover homemade broth here.
