So far I've shared three recipes with you from Every Day With Rachael Ray's "Good Deal" section (Recipe 1 and Recipe 2 and Recipe 3). Some of you told me that you planned to try it...how did it go? And were you able to make it cheaper than the listed cost?
I made this one Sunday night and even my husband (who thinks that mustard is a plot to kill him...have you noticed a trend that my husband is not the most adventurous when it comes to food?) enjoyed it!
Honey-Mustard Chicken with Potato Wedges (Serves 4)
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 limes: 1 juiced and 1 cut in to 8 wedges
- 8 skinless bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 large baking potatoes (about 12 ounces)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt & pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Directions:
- In a resealable bag, combine the honey, mustard, oil and lime juice. Add the chicken and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the potatoes and enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 20 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1-inch wedges. Transfer to a bowl and gently toss with the olive oil; season with salt & pepper
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Add the chicken and potatoes. Cover the grill and cook for 10 minutes on each side
- Serve the chicken with the lime wedges and potatoes. Sprinkle the chives over the potatoes.
And just like last week - here's the price breakdown (although we can do it cheaper, can't we?):
- Honey: $.53
- Mustard: $.41
- Vegetable oil: $.17
- Limes: $.80
- Chicken thighs: $6.11
- Baking potatoes: $.77
- Olive Oil: $.33
- Chives: $.84
Total: $9.96 or $2.49/serving
Let me know how your family liked it...and by how much you were able to alter the price without altering the recipe!
