Spend $27 (60lbs of chicken drumsticks) and save over $100 on groceries

- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2022
- In this video, Im demonstrating how I spent $27 on 60 lbs of drumsticks and turned it into chicken stock that shelf stable and cooked chicken for the freezer for casseroles and chicken salad. Food prices are going up every where and we need to get away from ready to eat foods and cooking from scratch foods. Chicken stock is a key ingredient in cooking from scratch recipes.

I have finally achieved a deep rich broth! Put my turkey in my roaster with onions, celery, carrots ( all scraps from the freezer) salt and pepper and let it do it's thing for 18 or so. . My goodness. I absolutely love my roaster! I now have 5 qrts and 6 pints of bone broth. So thankful 🙏🙏🙏♥️
Try putting a couple cups of water in the roaster(under the bag) to keep the bags from melting💙
& I still laugh hysterically when I make broth- the first time my son saw what was in the pot he about lost his mind, he was afraid to eat anything mixed😳He's grown now & makes his own🤣
I will do that! Thank you!!
That was a deal on all that chicken. Chicken here is so expensive now. Love the food preservation videos LeAnn. I've also really enjoyed the Forjars lids. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving & you all are recovering & getting back going after the fire. God bless you.
Linda we had great Thanksgiving minus the barn chores that had to be done. The Food and celebrating my mom’s 80th Birthday was priceless!
Hi LeAnn! Yes, that’s economically the best way, at least I think it is too. I just did 5 whole chickens that way and pressure canned the broth. I’ve never used a liner in my big Nesco roaster, wish I could tell you how to remedy your problem. I used to save my chicken fat and make suet cakes for the birds, they love it in the winter. I make suet cakes for my chickens when I had them, but used a different fat.
Thank you again for being such an inspiration to so many. Have a blessed night!!
I’m so ready to order a new insert for my oven but they are on back order from the manufacturer of course. I don’t want burnt plastic in my oven especially since it’s where I bake my cheesecake.
@@MennoniteFarmhouse Remember plastic is made from petroleum. Plastics that are heated leach carcinogenic chemicals to our food. It is convenient for cold storage. I wouldn't recommend plastic containers or saran wrap even in a microwave no matter how convenient. We only reheat in glass.
What a great process to get all that food. Thanks for sharing all this. That stock looked incredible and the chicken you were able to freeze was incredible. Cheers LeAnne!
Perfect timing! I just read our local grocery flyer...$6.90 for a 10 pound bag of legs and thighs! Picking up some tomorrow! Thanks again for the inspiration!
Awesome! That’s a great price!
Great information!
That was a great buy in those drumsticks! Awesome return on that money for sure!
Thank you!
Getting diligent about labeling has been great this last year. My newer food saver has a wet food setting that seems to work well. Maybe when you need to upgrade you can look for that feature.
Thank you very much Leanne!🌻
Great video!
Thank you!
What a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your cooking tips!
Glad you like them!
Beautiful broth!
Thank you!
I use my chicken smaltz to fry chicken livers, potatoes, anything you want to give that good ole chicken flavor to! I also bake my bones at 300 degrees for several hours, and then run them through the blender to make bone meal for my garden. I try to waste nothing! What a deal you got on the chicken!!
Wow! I get to learn from you! That’s awesome!
Have been doing chicken stock this week also, it is so good
Now that's the way to can! Good job LeAnne.
Another great content
thanks for sharing!🙏♥
Thank you!
Great job LeeAnn
Thank you!
Thank you for a great money saving video. 💜
Thank you!
Beautiful stock and your instructions spot on.
Glad you think so!
Such a wonderful video. So many folks don't realize inflation doesn't have to limit great meals at home when you cook from scratch like this. I have used drumsticks and leg quarters like this to feed my family. And that broth! It is the best for cold and flu season. Thanks for sharing!!!
Exactly, cooking from scratch makes meal time a wonderful experience if the food is prepared properly and tastes favorable. I don’t even like take out any more when my cooking is better.
That looks amazing but I know you had to be so tired by the time it was done. Great job!
It was like a four day process now I’m working on canning 120 lbs of chicken breasts… and last week I did 14 quarts of pumpkin and 7 quarts of turkey stock! I’m getting ready for bake sale this weekend lol 😂
@@MennoniteFarmhouse that’s amazing
@@MennoniteFarmhouse girl I feel you! I have made tangerine marmalade, beer mustard, turkey stock, turkey pot pie starter all in the last 3 days!
I need to make candied nuts tomorrow 😲. Going to see my kids and grandkids... They count on Me-maw's home-made goodies. Thank you for sharing how you get things done ❤️
I'm first!!🙌🙌🙌 Thanks for the tips on saving!!!
Yay!
Great job my friend...what a way to save money!
Love this and thanks so much for the help! This will help our family so much.
Wonderful! I’m glad!
Your broth looks beautiful. I have a turkey carcass that you inspired me to process into broth. Thank you.
I finally have a stock video that I think looks awesome. Thank you.
Yay! You’re welcome!
Thanks for the inspiration to make bone broth! I needed a nudge and you were there! Blessings to you and yours.
Awww! You got this! Get done and feel accomplished!
Turmeric!! That's what I've been missing in my chicken stock to get that gorgeous color everyone else I'm seeing gets!! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Lisa!
Hi LeAnne! So excited to see you saving money and sharing how you save!!
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Many Blessings
It was a very good Thanksgiving and we celebrated my moms 80th Birthday!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse wow good for her. Happy belated birthday to your Mom
Excellent work teaching folks how to stretch the food budget!
Thank you Lisa!
Thanks for sharing this with us ❤️. I love homemade broth. I love seeing how others do it. Tumeric was a new idea I will definitely try next time.
You are so welcome!
Liquid gold! I never thought to put the stock in the fridge over night in to easily remove the fat. Thanks for sharing that tip!!!
Beautiful broth!! I’ve never put turmeric in mine! I will next round. Love your videos!
Thank you Teresa! I appreciate you!
I love to open up a jar of my chicken stock and a pack of the meat and make chicken and rice. I eat it with green beans I have canned from the garden. Your stock looks amazing. Great job LeeAnn. 👩🌾♥️ 🍗
Yes such an easy quick meal!
Wow, your chicken broth looks so rich in flavor and color!! Awesome video - great tips on saving money and you got a lot of meals out of those legs for cheap!!! Sure beats them going in to the freezer uncooked.
Thanks Janis!
My next batch of broth will be from legs! Thank you so much I always learn so much from you
You got this!
Thanks for the video! I saw a sale on chicken legs at Aldi's! After watching your video, I am going to try this weekend. It will be my first attempt at bone broth . Thanks again!
Beautiful stock. Hopefull i can get back to canning so (hopefully my hand is almost healed). Leann, Great video.
Thank you Vickie! I got my apron on 😂
That was very informative. I love the deep color which signifies deep flavor.
Thank you! We had a quart of it in the dressing I served at thanksgiving, so good!
You are an amazing cook! Thank you for sharing, I love these types of videos. It is just me now and I still love to can and preserve my food. God bless
I wish I had time to do it when I was single because I was married to the job! Never wanted to cook when I finally had time to myself! Thank you!
Wow that's very good looking stock we are doing turkey stock right now
Awesome! I did turkey stock on Friday and canned it Saturday and got 7 quarts!
Thanks for sharing. I just did both chicken and turkey bone broth. Tastes so much better than any store bought.
I just did turkey stock too, it was too simple. I put my bones in the instant pot with my dehydrated onions, carrots and celery then add water and cook it for an hour.
Very interesting video. I'm just getting started with canning, so I loved seeing the process from start to finish. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom.
Glad it was helpful!
$27 well spent. Sure cannot beat that in the grocery store and you know what you are feeding your family!!!! I was impressed that you got that much meat from the drumsticks!!!!! May I ask where you found the liners for your big roaster???
Thanks Betty! I got the pan liners off of Amazon. I will look for them and if I find them I add them to my Amazon store front.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL CHICKEN STOCK! Thank you for sharing how you do it! Incidentally my name is also Leanne. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦 I’m a new subscriber.
Now that was some nice looking broth. Nice work LeAnne.
Thank you!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse i mentioned you in my watermelon 🍉 video today. Check it out.
Beautiful stock! I found your channel through the Doughvember Collab, I'm so glad I did. I made your dinner rolls with the glaze and they are amazing. God bless.
Welcome, I’m so glad you are here! I’m so glad you enjoyed them! God Bless!
Beautiful stock, I'll bet that your kitchen smelled wonderful!
Yes it always smells good!
What a great bargain on the chicken and a lot of food for future use!
Yes indeed!
What a rich broth! Your $27 was well spent.
Thank you Mary Ellen!
I also purchase chickens by 40lb bags. Great video 😊
Yay! Thank you!
Aww Leeann that was a great video! I love making broth, something so therapeutic about it! Maybe the smell of freshly made broth or the process...I just love it ❤ thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ginger!
That's a lot of chicken!! 🥴. Thank you for sharing.
What a fantastic deal and your stock looks amazing!
I have bones in my roaster as we speak and will be in there till tomorrow evening
Where did you get such a great price on drumsticks?
Always love your videos ❤️
I got the special from a preorder at a local Mennonite bulk food store. Thank you! I was worried I didn’t add enough water to it!
The instructions on the back of my roaster liner box say to set the roaster below 350 degrees. Add 1 - 2 cups of water to the removable insert pan. Dress pan with liner so that the liner floats on top of water. Skirt liner over sides of roaster being careful not to tuck liner inside heat well. This usually works for me but sometimes I think the problem with broth making is the long length of time it takes to cook. Hope this helps. Also, the chicken fat is called schmaltz and is good for frying foods, Thanks for your video. Making broth and canning it is on my December to do list.
Thank you! My box didn’t come with instructions and I couldn’t find them on the internet.
I have stuck celery bases in my garden and they grew!! It was amazing. This year I found they reseeded themselves and I have double the plants!!
Wonderful!
You inspired me Leanne, you inspired me to ask you where you got all that chicken and how many pounds was it for $27! That was an amazing deal !! I'd love to find a deal similar to that around here but I don't care if we had to eat nothing but chicken rest of the year and into 2023 !!
Your broth was rich and beautiful. Thank you for sharing Leanne. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family your adventures
I get it in bulk at the Mennonite bulk food store maybe 50 minutes from my house. I really got 80lbs for $36 but I sold 20lbs to my Mothernlaw for $9. Yes, with food prices are unsettling we need to get when we can afford it and watch for sales! I will turning this into many different kinds of meals. I hope my husband doesn’t get bored with having all this chicken on hand.
What a smart project, LeAnne. I don't use the plastic liners, I just have a thing against cooking in plastic but I have seen on Amazon that you can purchase foil liners for those electric roaster ovens. Kind of spendy though. Such a shame you don't keep the fat, it adds amazing flavor to homemade noodles and dumplings. Your stock came out beautiful! Will you be showing us what you did with the Cushaw squash in the background? Hope so! Thank you, LeAnne and have a great week.
I used that in my pumpkin pie video and I canned the rest the day before thanksgiving. I might film a pumpkin roll video but not sure… just because I’m not perfect at them!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse I missed that video...have to go correct that right now. Thank you!
I like to cook potatoes in chicken fat - it makes delicious fried potatoes and onions. I also keep some of it in the soup. Really enjoy your videos!
You are amazing.
Thank you!
I absolutely love your bottle brush!! Where did you get it????
Thank you! I got the brush at a Mennonite dry goods store in my home town.
absolutely brilliant!! I can't get drumsticks that cheap - but I can look! I haven't thought of dividing the meat and bones to make stock. I would save the fat though - for frying. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Dianne!
Where did you get 60 pounds of drumsticks for $27?
Maybe at Sam's club? I think that they are just under $1 lb right now.
A Mennonite bulk food store. This time of year chicken is the cheapest it’s going to get!
My Pansaver roaster liners says to add 2 cups of water to the roaster before adding the bag and don’t go over 350 degrees. To remove any stuck on bags it says to fill roaster and add dish soap and heat on 300 degrees for a few hours. Your chicken broth looks delicious.
I tried to look up the directions when I was editing this video and just had a feeling I was doing it wrong! Thanks for letting me know! I would hate to try to buy a new insert for the oven when they don’t know when they are coming in next!
The chicken broth is a beautiful color, I just did turkey broth next is chicken, I like to also make pints to use for rice, much more flavorful then water, thanks for sharing ❤️ God bless
I always maintain that I have asbestos fingers from all the years of cooking for my family, lol! I don't tend to feel heat the way other family members do. I can wash in pretty hot water too. You put in so much effort, but I know it is well worth it. Thank you for such an informative video, because you sure are right about grocery prices being so much higher, it is a fact of life, so any way I can find to cut costs I'm all in! 🍗🐔
Rachal, I hope your family loves and appreciates your cooking! I will do my best! I should just start turning on the camera when I cook!
Nothing like homemade broth. After I made Turkey broth I looked up the price for a quart at Walmart and was shocked at the price. Yours is beautiful-I love adding turmeric
Yes, stock isn’t cheap any more by any means!
Oh yeah LeAnne! I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. Now I will be on the lookout for chicken att the stores. Awesome video and very informative as always. Is there a difference between chicken stock and chicken broth??
Yes, stock is made from bones, while broth is made mostly from meat or vegetables. Using bones in stock creates a thicker liquid. Stock contains more calories.
Leanne that is the prettiest broth I've ever seen! I just pulled a whole chicken out and I'm gonna try to make broth from the carcass tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration!! Oh...I forgot to say that I don't use a bag in my roaster oven, so I can't give you any help on that one!
Thank you! Others in the comments have helped me… I was using them at too high of temperature and needed to add water to it.
I did this yesterday. Guess great minds think alike. God bless.
Absolutely! God Bless!
looks amazing chicken legs here are over $2 a lb But if they come on sale I grab them. Thanks LeAnn
Keep an eye out for them, I preordered mine though a Mennonite bulk store sale. They have enough orders to fill two tractor trailers worth every two weeks this time of year. Chicken always seems to be cheaper this time of year for some reason but not the last two years. It’s been two years since I have done this project.
The onion skins add color to the stock. Do the bags maybe need to be gathered at top, not draped over side of roaster? I like to pressure can some chicken. So easy to use when ready cause canning cooks it so ready to go. Keeps my freezer clearer. Great ideas! Nothing better than home made stock.
Yes Onions would add great color to the stock.
I love this type of video! This is fabulous. I recently did the same thing. Whoop!!
I don't know if anyone else has said anything to you, but you are the second of my favs that I have been unsubbed from. Don't know why. I did hear someone else say that they have had some subbies that have been unsubbed as well. Guess I need to comment more often, but I usually watch on TV.
Be blessed, friend
💖
That’s great, great minds think a like. Tony at Kettle kitchen watches me a lot and still gets unsubscribe. So who knows why people get unsubscribed to RUclips channels.
Hi LeAnn, where did you get you food vacuum sealer and where do you buy yourchicken? I love your chanel 💕
Sarah I bought my food saver at Best Buy. It retailed for over $300 when I bought it and with coupons and coupon apps and sales I got it for $113!! The chicken was a preorder sale at a Mennonite bulk food store. Thank you!
I think the roaster bags are finicky. You should put a tablespoon of flour inside the empty bag and shake it good. Then put it in the oven where the bag cannot touch the sides of the oven. Everytime I do this, the bags work great. You are an inspiration teaching everyone how to stretch the food budget. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks for the tips!
Hi LeAnn! I do my bulk chicken in a similar way. :) I can my chicken in pints instead of freezing. I use Better than Bouillon broth for my canned chicken and then can the chicken bone broth. I have never put turmeric in mine, I’ll add some my next batch. I do put ginger in my bone broth it’s good for helping with colds and flu. Just last week I opened the last jar when my husband and kids were sick. It’s time for me to do another batch. I can put 40 pound of quarters in my roaster. I gave up on liners. Thank you for another great video. ❤
Thanks Marie! I will have to try the ginger… I use it in other ways. Great minds think a like!
I've only used the roaster bags in the oven, never in a nesco.
That’s good to know!
Leann....I just don't bother with the roaster bags. Means a little clean up but I'm ok with that.
I’m getting to that point… especially if it burns to the side of the pan….
How I clean up my chicken fat is to put it into a saucepan with water (about 2x water to 1x fat) and bring it to a boil, turn down heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool to put in fridge overnight (or until fat is as solid as possible) and remove clean fat off top of water, dump water and impurities to the chickens. Great for cooking and baking! Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🐛p.s. great video! Amazing stock!
Great tip! Thank you.
I try to catch a few bags when leg quarters are on sale like .25/lb I do this same thing but can the chicken in quarts. My mom has even chipped in on the cost for me to have her some homemade broth as it's so nutrient dense.
That’s great!
I don't use the roaster bags, my roaster gets hot on the outside too and it is hard to wash afterwards. I just made turkey stock in my roaster using the turkey carcass and kitchen vegetable scraps. Onion peels make a beautiful broth. I got 10 quarts of beautiful stock....for practically nothing but the cost of electricity.
Thanks Shelia! Yes, some food can be made fairly cheap and easy too!
Hi LeAnn! I have grown celery from the bottom of the stalk. It can be finicky. Set in a shallow container with just a little water around the very bottom. Change this water daily. Soon you should see little white roots , also should be regrouping out the top. You then can transfer to a pot of dirt. I just barely set the stalk into dirt. It will need sun or a light to grow. Or if it's warm, can be set out in the garden. I grew 2 this year in the garden, and just cut pieces off as needed. I also dug up an repotted to bring in for the winter. So far they are doing good!. This could be a real money saver over time.
Your broth is beautiful!
That’s great Lois! I have done that maybe I needed to put it in soil sooner. Thank you!
Fantastic, LeAnne. The vinegar helps get the flavor out of the bones?
Yes!
I had the same problem with my food saver. I found though if I freeze my food on a cookie sheet first and put it in a food saver bag frozen I don't have any issues
That’s exactly what I do.
I need to do that!
Great video! You can take that chicken fat you skimmed off and put it in a jar in the fridge. Use it to fry potatoes or when sauteing vegetables for recipes. Add a little to green beans or mashed potatoes in place of butter. There are videos of how to make it. They call it shmaltz.
I will try that next time!
I fill the freezer bags then freeze overnight, vacuum sealing the next day. Got tired of the juices siphoning even on the moist setting. Do the same with corn and shredded zucchini.
That’s a great idea Melinda!!
I have grown celery from the ends. We started it as a science project and it worked!
That’s great Linda!
Could you move to the U.P.? I need a neighbor like you! I’m a great neighbor; i could probably get references, if needed. 🤗🙏
I wish I could Debbie! It’s hard to move a farm though!
I don't think the clear ones are made for the roaster ovens....only crock pots...there is some liners for the roaster ovens that looks like foil they make for them....hope that helps
Others are telling me they don’t go above 350F and I need two cups of water under it. The box that they came doesn’t have instructions at all.
Great demonstration LeAnne! May I ask how many quarts your roaster oven holds?
It holds 22 quarts. Thanks Mary!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse Great, thanks!
Thank you.. I dont buy chicken stock as I dont use it very often but good to know.. did you can the meat?
I can breast meat but I don’t can drumsticks meat because it’s cooked the whole through already and it would be hard to debone if it wasn’t. I pick and choose how much work I wanna do!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse - I hope I didnt make you upset? I only meant that since you picked all the meat off the legs if you canned it.. I only canned raw chicken breast for the past 11 yrs until yesterday I canned up the hot pack and what a difference its more work but from watching other youtube people they showed how you can bread n fry them fir chicken nuggets.. do you raw or hot pack ur chicken breast?
@@Fritz0616 It didn’t bother me at all. I love hot packing. I get more in the jar and save space, time and lids. I prefer the taste of it baked before canning over raw pack and boiling it!
Found your channel today.
Watched your video and an curious why you didn’t can any of the chicken?
Welcome! I'm so glad you are here! I had 120lb of chicken breast coming the week after that I was planning to can up and didn't want to run out of jars.
I have never used those liner bags because I am afraid heating that plastic will get in my food. I may be wrong tho...
Apparently you can’t have it to warm and use water underneath it.
Have you ever made onion broth from the onion skins
Yes it’s on the list to do next week or sometime soon! I love cooking beef roasts in onion stock!
Chicken fat can be nice to cook with. Kinda like a little less flavor bacon grease.
I will have to try it next time!
You are so amazing, wish i had a neighbor Iike you 💜💚💙🤗
Aww! You’re so kind!
My tip for using the roaster bags is not to. Been cooking for cowboys for 30 years and using a roaster. Never used one successfully b
Yes I have learned my lesson!
