Colonel Sanders

Inflation-Busting Grocery Pro-Tip. 

Chef Jacques Pepin spoke on this technique a week ago.   This morning’s NYT foodie/cooking email featured Ali Slagle’s bone-in, skin-on, extra-crispy chicken thighs. Coincidence?  This must’ve been a sign from above. Pushed over the edge this happened. 

Jill picked-up a six pack of thighs for $3.55.  Froze two and pan-seared the remaining four. Brown rice and mixed frozen veggies as sides. Made some delicious pan sauce from deglazing the crunchy bits. 

All-in, I figure just north of four bucks for dinner for two - including bonus lunch leftovers. Two more thighs in the freezer. 

Worth the messy spatter clean-up. 

 

Bam!

 

Colonel Sanders got nothing on me.....
