My auntie said to buy chicken leg quarters instead of breasts and I owe her $30 a week
She told me this back in January and I brushed it off, but leg quarters run 79 cents a pound at the Kroger on Hamilton Road so I finally tried it. Now I braise them with rice and frozen veggies for four dinners, so what cheap cut did someone talk you into that you wish you'd tried sooner?
Thirty bucks a week back pay for your auntie adds up to like a thousand dollars by now, hope she takes payment in braised chicken. Mine was beef shank, my neighbor kept telling me to stop buying steak and just cook the tough stuff low and slow, and I finally caved last fall. Turns out you get way more meat for way less money and it tastes better too, which honestly made me mad I waited so long. The worst part is knowing all those years I was basically paying extra for meat that dries out if you look at it wrong. Anyway, leg quarters at 79 cents is a steal, so keep that auntie on speed dial.
