Amazing, Yet Easy Chicken Recipes

If you're like me, you could always use more easy chicken recipes. Chicken is a very versatile food. It can be a main dish, or a side dish; a soup, or a salad; health food, or junk food. It all depends on how you prepare it. That's where these easy chicken recipes come in to play.

Chicken has a very mild flavor. That might sound like a bad thing, but it's not. In fact, that is what makes chicken so great. Add a few different spices, or a different sauce and the taste will completely change for you.

Chicken Quality

Now, don't get caught in the mindset that chicken is chicken. There are definitely different cuts and quality. A 99% fat free boneless skinless chicken breast doesn't equate to a drumstick with the skin on. Remember that when you buy chicken by the pound, you are paying for the bones, the skin, and the fat also. If I have the choice between meat with fat, bone, and skin for $1.00/lb and all meat for $2.00/lb, I'll pay $2.00/lb for all meat. It will end up costing me about the same for the meat, but I get a higher quality of meat (and I don't have to remove the bones, fat, and skin myself).

Beyond the obvious, there are also taste differences between different brands of chicken. I personally buy Tyson chicken from Sam's club for the same price as lesser grade meat from the normal super market. That gives me the best value for my money and the best quality of meat. Try a few of your local brands and see if you can taste a difference. I bet you can!
