I don't like to get my hands dirty

Reagan really enjoys the roasted chicken from Costco. So do I. It is yummy, cheap and easy. The only thing is that i really dislike cutting the meat from the bone/carcass. Grosses me out and I hate nothing more than greasy hands and fingers. I found a wonderful solution to this problem the other day during a visit to Costco. I noticed one of the workers preparing those prepackaged dinners of enchiladas. She had on latex gloves and was ripping and shredding the meat of the bone. GENIUS! So I grabbed a chicken and threw some latex gloves in the cart and came home. The key is to let the chicken cool just a bit, so you don't burn your fingers, before you start tearing off the meat. Don't refrigerate it and leave it for later, you won't get as much meat off that way. Follow these tips and you'll get more for your money and have clean hands left.
I re-heat it by putting the chicken on our Grill/Panini press. Oh, and you bet I am gonna blog about that fine appliance.

I thought about posting pictures but that is just gross.

The greasy fingers thing is annoying. And I too fell the panini grill is amazing. It is awesome for re-heating opizza too--if you want a little crunch to your crust!
