Last week when I went grocery shopping they had whole chickens on sale for a $1 a pound so I spent $3 and got one. I have spent the week trying to figure out what to do with it. I've been wanting something spicy so I threw together a spice mix and decided that we would have carrots and quinoa with it.
Price breakdown:
Chicken 3lbs: $3USD
Bag of frozen carrots: $0.47 USD
1 Cup Quinoa: $0.75 USD
I had the spices already and used chicken broth instead of water for the quinoa along with some salsa (salsa is a staple in our house).
Spice Mix:
2 tablespoons red chili flakes
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag and shake it with the spices in there. Place it in the oven at 400 degrees. Bake until throughly done.
And the verdict is.... AWESOME! It was really good even if I was grossed out by cleaning out the inside the chicken.
