If you live near Kansas City, Hy-Vee has some amazing deals right now. At the Noland and 40Hwy store, I just grabbed 2-10 lb bags of chicken quarters for $.39 a lb! I have one entire bag in my slow cooker with garlic salt, onion powder and paprika. When it’s cooked, I’ll debone and add BBQ sauce for yummy pulled chicken sandwiches.
I also grabbed whole chickens for $.49 each, hot dogs for $.69 a package, and turkey breast tenderloins for $1.69 a lb. Their seedless watermelons are also on sale for $3.69 each and they are the big ones. If you have cheerio coupons add them to their $1.88 a box sale for a really good deal.
Wow, those are some good deals! I’m lucky if I can find whole chickens for $2.49. 😛
That was an easy way to do chicken. It made a very good broth which I strained and put in a container to skim the fat after it cools. It was also very easy to debone the chicken. I chopped the chicken and put it in freezer bags to make white bean chicken chili when the weather gets cooler. The rest I chopped to make chicken salad. That was so easy that I will want to do all my chickens in the crock pot when I have time. Keep up the good work. You have amazing ideas.
Thanks Mom! I’m glad it worked for you. You’ll see some of my chicken at pot luck tomorrow :).
