I promised myself I wouldn't cook anything new until the leftovers were all gone, but alas I had chicken defrosted in the fridge and I was certain i could whip up something quick and easy. I'm a meal planner, I also stick to a strict grocery budget so we eat a lot of chicken. Every once in a while they put a huge pack of wings,drumsticks, and thighs on sale, since i watch the weekly adds i make sure to stock up whenever the sale comes up. Then once i get home i repackage the chicken and toss it in our deep freezer. SO this chicken which i had defrosted couldn't go to waste; i work too hard to get it at the best price. As i stared at the defrosted chicken and at my pantry wondering what i could come up with, i decided i'd figure it out later. Well the day went on, my friend came over and I had procrastinated long enough...
my husband was home and i still had no idea what i felt like eating, or what i was going to do with this dang chicken. There was a bottle of Buffalo sauce sitting on the counter and i figured well might as well go the easy route and fry up some chicken, toss it in some sauce and call it a day. Unfortunately my post-baby butt told me maybe i shouldn't be FRYING anything. Just as i almost decided we'd be eating lettuce and tomatoes for dinner, i thought i would try something new. The result??
