A whole chicken will last you a few days
in nibbles and sandwiches and salads. Fucking awesome. Or look up videos of how to bone and portion a chicken - I've done about twenty this past year and can do it in about four minutes now. Just freeze the bits you don't use straight away and boil the carcass with peppercorns and bay leaves for stock.
Edit: cooking times and temps are always printed on the packaging.

I'm sure me and the cat can make light work of it all in a few days.
I could make soup instead of stock and then freeze it too...
Yes. I'm going to do it next week.

If you don't eat the skin
the cat would dig it but it's pretty fatty. Also, you can freeze stock of course :)

I recommend making soup
Home made chicken soup is the business.

Just make sure you do it the day before your bins are lifted though, otherwise the used carcass will likely be dragged out of your bin by a hungry fox/dog/cat/tramp.

Daughter and I made chicken noodle soup when it snowed
with home-made stock and chicken legs for the meat. I was AMAZED at how incredible it tasted and got my favourite compliment ever from my best friend about it.
