I usually buy whole chicken because cheaper. Here is how I cook it.

Butterfly cut the chicken. Take out the spine bone for making chicken broth which can later use for cooking chicken rice. Cut out the wing , leg quarter(drumstick and thigh) split the chicken breast into 2. So now I have 2 chicken wings which I will use for nasi lemak. Steamed half of chicken breast for chicken rice. If got leftover chicken breast , shed it to make chicken congee or rice noodle
Other half of the chicken breast, I cut out most of the meat into strip which I will stir fry. Other part with bone, I will chop into small piece together with the 2 chicken drumstick  to make curry. If want to make a bigger portion of curry, cut the thigh as well. If 1 or 2 person eat, I will leave bake the chicken thigh with potato or pumpkin
