Fact: supermarket or store-bought roast chickens are one of the most underrated dinner options out there.
They’re yummy, hot and hit all the right spots. And, if you’re creative enough, one chook can get you through days of delicious meals.
To find out exactly what you can do with one humble rotisserie chook, freelance chef, recipe writer and stylist Samantha Parish decided to set herself a #1ChookChallenge. The goal? To see how many lunch and dinner meals she could make using, well, one chook. Considering we’re all trying to save extra cash while also not getting bored of our home cooking, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
Keep scrolling for Sam’s four brilliant roast chicken recipes. Then, all you have to do is pick which one you’ll make first and head straight to your local supermarket for a chook.

That pie sounds good (minus the mushrooms!), and I haven't made chicken soup for ages - might do that this weekend! I found a great recipe a few years ago, using spring onion flavoured soft cheese, super easy! Cook some chopped spring onions (or other onions are fine) in a bit of butter, add some chicken stock, thicken with a little bit of cornflour, then add a few chunks of the cheese. Also add chives or whatever herbs you like, then when the sauce is thickened and the cheese is all melted in, throw in some leftover chicken and whatever (cooked) veg you like. Good with rice or pasta, you can use it as a pie filling, or wrapped up in tortillas or crepes with a bit of extra sauce on top, then baked.
