I took out chicken legs to roast tonight and have already rubbed the salt under the skin. I can't believe I hadn't thought of buying chicken this way ages ago. We all love the dark meat more than the breast, so why buy a whole bird, especially when the legs (thigh and leg with back attached) alone are cheaper? We're still left with bones to make stock, it just takes a little longer to collect enough to make a pot worth the time (I have a bag in the freezer for them to collect now). Some of the sprouting potatoes are still useable, so I'm sure DH will want some mashed. We had asparagus last night instead of carrots, so I'll do carrots probably tonight and maybe a salad on the side.
