It’s been three years since I first brought you this post, but in lieu of grocery prices, I thought I would remind you that I have lots of budget friendly dishes. I also added some NEW dishes. You want to cook or you wouldn’t be here, but you might be thinking what I’m thinking. Serving dishes like easy Greek Chicken kabobs, stretched with veggies or these delicious chicken thighs with peppers will still feel gourmet but are still affordable.

Air-chilled chicken is processed with cold air, eliminates the need for chilled chlorinated water that most producers use. I can vouch for a difference in roasting and baking. You’ll often notice chicken processed in water is soaked with water which emits during the roasting process. The meat is more tender, the flavor is better, and there is not added water or chlorine to weep out of your chicken.
