    I can't resist a bargain, so when our local supermarket was selling whole chickens for less than half price I just couldn't help but buy a couple (ok four) to pop into the freezer.  Although there is nothing better than the smell of a chicken roasting in the oven, the smell of one cooking in the Thermomix certainly comes pretty close.  Cooking a chicken in the Varoma Tray of your Thermomix will give you one of the most tender chickens you have ever tasted - seriously!

      I have done this a few times now and omit the bacon so I can use the left over liquid as my base to bone broth. Make the broth in my pressure cooker using the bones, ACV, garlic and veg, shred chicken in the thermo and make chicken sweet corn soup! Very nourishing and so tasty!!

        It really is easy Kat! I was a little scared it wouldn't work out the first time I tried it, but have done it a few times now and it seems to get better each time!
