I used to be good at math, but I think I'm rusty. Maybe this is an easier calculation than I think, but I'm hoping one of you will say, "Oh man...that's easy."
I cooked my whole chicken in my crock pot for roughly 5 hours on low. It turned out great and, literally, pulls off the bone!
I started with a 4 lb, 13oz. chicken for $2.19 per pound. After cooking and separating the meat from the carcass, I ended up with just over 2 lb. of usable meat. Rounding slightly, the parts that I'm discarding (skin and bones) weigh 1 lb., 4 oz. and the liquid weighs 15.7 oz.
What's my final price per pound of the consumable meat?
Thank you!
