This is maybe half of the chicken I bought. |
I am certifiable crazy. I admit it. I love to save money and get good deals. This is what we do to save money and time. I hope this will help someone who is need of more time or more money or both.
We found skinned boned chicken breast for 99 cents a pound, and I had a $5 coupon. So I bought over 30 pounds of it!!!
So I spent several hours pulling off chicken skin, de-boning, and slicing. I boiled half of it for future chicken tacos, chicken spaghetti, chicken and dumplings, etc. I bagged and froze it.
One of my three pots to boil the chicken. |
Then I took the rest of it and bagged it with marinades and special spices.
Bags full of seasonings and sauces |
Next time I grill, I'll just pull out a bag and be ready to go.
It's a lot of work, but it makes life easier in the long run. :-)Happy cooking and saving, everyone!
I love love LOVE the idea of freezing it WITH the marinade! You're brilliant (and my hero!) :o)
