I found some great deals on chicken thighs and legs at the grocery store. The packages were 50% off. So I paid around $12 for two trays of chicken legs and one tray of thighs. They had to be frozen soon so I decided to have a mini Freezer Cooking day and make some marinades.
These are the easiest marinades:
Garlic Dijon
2 cloves garlic, minced
4T Dijon mustard
2T Lime juice
Mix in a bowl.
I put 7-8 chicken pieces into a Freezer Gallon size ziploc and pour the marinade over it. To get the air out of the bag, zip it 3/4 of the way and then squish gently against your body and then zip all the way. I like to freeze the bag laying down on each other so I always double check my zipper!
I also made the Lemon Chicken which I shared here.
Here it is again:
Lemon Chicken
1 t/ dried thyme leaves
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/8 t. garlic powder
1/3 c. lemon juice
Here is one I didn’t make today, but it is also a favorite.
Honey Glazed
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/8 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. honey
Same procedure as above.
I ended up with two bags of chicken pre-marinated, two bags of chicken legs (no marinade) and one bag of thighs. Not bad for $12.
I am sharing this recipe on Gluten Free Wednesdays.
