We love chicken, and for us it is a favorite choice when we want a quick easy meal. Chicken is so versatile. BBQ, stir fry, oven baked, soups, tacos, roasted, slow cooked, and salad. There is no end to what you can do with whole chickens, chicken breast, legs, and wings. I love to buy rotisserie chickens and change them up into different meals, like I will be doing this week with today’s Whole Foods deal of the day – $5 rotisserie chickens (while supplies last). Yes please. With creativity a rotisserie chicken can provide several frugal meals that are both quick and easy. In preparation for the chickens I am about to buy I am pulling together chicken recipes that are quick and/or easy to make.
