This is the way. But all bones of any meat you eat should be saved for soup broth. Whole chicken is especially useful in this manner, because there are lots of little scraps of meat leftover with whole chicken that fall off the bone and into the soup when boiling the bones to make the base.
This is one of the best things I learned to do when I was a poor person.
A whole chicken is relatively inexpensive, especially if you are buying on sale. There’s not much easier than roasting a chicken. Just follow a basic recipe, nothing fancy.
That also makes your leftovers very versatile. I like to use them to make chicken stock with the bones and some veggies or to make chicken pot pie. You could also just use the meat for a chicken salad or something. Or toss it in a salad. But don’t waste the bones!
Now I do this every Thanksgiving with a roast duck and I use the leftovers to make duck pho (I don’t have to feed a lot of people.)
