To find how many pounds of chicken are unused, we need to subtract the amount used from the total amount bought.
The amount used is 2 1/2 pounds of chicken, which is the same as 2.5 pounds.
The total amount bought is 5 3/4 pounds of chicken, which is the same as 5.75 pounds.
To find the amount unused, we subtract the amount used from the total amount bought: 5.75 pounds - 2.5 pounds = <<5.75-2.5=3.25>>3.25 pounds.
Therefore, there are 3.25 pounds of chicken remaining unused. Answer: \boxed{3.25}.
