Answer 4

If I were you I'd make chicken and vegetable dish... something like pot roast. If you have a microwave, par cook carrots and potatoes. Roast your chicken [you may need to baste it a couple of times w/butter or margarine. Place your vegetables around the chicken a half hr. before it is done and baste w/ pan drippings. You can use any combination of vegis for this but your tubers [potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, etc. need to be partially cooked before hand.] If you have spices, I'd use rosemary and mixed pepper. Don't salt until at the table.

Answer 5

You can make a broth or etc. The broh should include the hen meat of course and a few veggies and other meat and spices into the pot and let it simmer and cook. or you can boil the meat and decorate a dish with meat and salad. I know it sounds stupid but I hope it helps!

Answer 6

soup definitely. the bones will add a good flavor to the broth and the meat will soften in the slow cooking process and wont be tough. its good trust me.

Answer 7

Chicken stew
