Oven Roasted Chicken

This meal shows my southern roots. In a southern home, dinner usually consists of a meat, a vegetable, and a starch. This week I found a deal on chicken wings (the verdict is out on how "good" the deal really is). I purchased a family pack of 18, for $11.87, which I rinsed and divided in half before freezing.Ingredient: from your stockpile, use the Mahatma Yellow Rice packages- $.0 (Moneymaker at Publix); Birdseye RR Squash, zucchini, and red onion pack- $.0 (Moneymaker at Publix a month or so ago). To achieve brown and crispy chicken, pat the wings dry with a paper towel. Toss them in a Tbsp of olive oil, season with coarse salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Place the wings in a shallow baking pan (I line the pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up). Roast the wings for approximately 20 minutes or until brown and crispy. You will get all the taste and enjoyment of fried chicken without having to coat them in flour and all of the greasiness (is that a word? Lol). Considering the overage gained from purchasing the rice and Birdseye vegetables, the final out of pocket cost is hard to gauge. The cost of the chicken is the only "real" cost of the meal. Woop-woop!! Another cost effective meal!! Enjoy :-)
