I’m headed over to the grocery store tomorrow. They have whole chickens on sale for 97 cents a pound. This is how we make our freezers pay for themselves. If you can stock up when things are on sale you can eat well for less whenever you choose. I was thinking of all the things that can be done with a chicken. Good grief I felt like Bubba in Forest Gump talking about shrimp. I went to the America’s Test Kitchen web page and hit the chicken button. It loaded a full page of recipes and said load more at the bottom of the page. There’s several pages of recipes. They even had Beer Can Chicken! I felt vindicated! I love beer can chicken. I can taste a difference. Our own SheilaAnn is leading the group in chicken pot pie cooking. It’s winter how long has it been since you simmered a chicken in the pot thinking about the chicken and dumplings you’d have that night. I make a kind of hybrid chicken noodle-dumpling soup that sounds like over kill but is so good! A chicken in every pot has been the thing to do for a long time!

Living up here in Northern Michigan not much tastes better in January than a chicken quartered and cooked over some charcoal with a little cherry shavings in some foil smoking on the coals to help it flavor. Don't do much smoking as living on Lake Huron its almost a continous cold wind and hard to hold temps.Comment

I never really paid attention to sales, but with everything (literally) getting so expensive, I am really paying attention now, especially for stuff I know will use. HEB just sent out their weekly ad and both pork tenderloin and pork loin are on sale. Yes, please.Comment

I subscribed to the on line weekly flyers from all the local grocery stores and the local Ace hardware. I check Walmart and Academy often to see if B&B lump is on sale. As I drive through town I look to see who has the lowest price gasoline too. I’m retired so I have time to do these things. -
Oak Smoke we have an app called gas buddy. It will show locations prices and when that price was last posted.

Just something to think about when buying chicken. Those grocery store chickens in that plastic bag with 15% water and salt weigh a hell of a lot. Look at a fresh fryer and its weight. I showed a meat clerk the difference here a couple years ago, she had two fresh fryers they wrapped in store and another single in a bag. Chickens were all about the same size but the bagged chicken weighed over half again as much as the fresh ones. Having said that though if you were a brine person before cooking those are all set to go. I always get the fresh chickens from the meat market.Comment

That one contains 12% added chicken broth, sea salt and "natural flavorings". But should be good over some hot charcoal. -
cruiseplanner1. Interesting. The way the label was stuck on there, I didn't see everything. It does say up to 6% added something.
Protein labeling in general is more misleading than informative. The use of "Angus" in numerous ways is not helpful, nor is the use of "premium".
