My uncle insisted a single chicken could feed a family for three days
He was right, I roasted one on Sunday and used the leftovers for soup and sandwiches, all for about $8 total. Anyone have other cheap ways to stretch a bird?

Totally agree, that's how my grandma taught me to stretch a chicken too.

Read about making chicken salad with the leftover meat... seems like an easy way to get another meal. Just mix it with some mayo and whatever you have in the fridge.

My mom always added a spoonful of sweet pickle relish to her chicken salad, and it made a huge difference. @baker.phoenix, that basic mayo mix is a solid start, but the real trick is adding something with a bit of crunch and something with a bit of tang. I've found that toasted almonds or chopped celery fix the texture, and a squeeze of lemon juice keeps it from tasting too heavy. It turns your leftovers into something you actually look forward to eating.
