Thread 21508406

What can I do with chicken leg quarters? I'm tired of baking them or putting them in soup. Its the only protein I can afford.

i'd say oyakodon but with egg prices these days that might be too much

>>21508406 (OP)
Cut them into leg and thigh, season the fuck out of them, and smoke them until crispy and delicious

>>21508406 (OP)
Idk. I got tired of eating them so I just buy pork butts. And even tho leg quarters are cheap it's mostly bone

>>21508410
Curious how you get crispy chicken on a smoker

>>21508414
Use only a dry rub. You want the chicken to as dry as possible, no wet marinades. Also smoke hot, leg quarters have a lot of fat and tissue...they can withstand a hot smoke. I usually go up to 350. Just let them sit and that skin will start to render out and crisp. Leg quarters are very very forgiving.

Really, you can't afford beans, tofu, TVP or Seitan?

They are dark meat dude. Give to the foxes or your furry friends. Don't lower yourself to eating dark meat especially now that boneless skinless breasts are only $1.79 a pound. Have a little self respect.

Or make stock with it. But cmon man.

Thai curry
Coq au vin
Pulled chicken
Quesadillas

For the civilized poultry eater yes. We aren't animals eating scrap cuts/dark meat. There is a reason why we breed chickens and turkeys for larger breasts, it's because it's what humans want not dog food.

tons of braised chicken recipes
see french cooking academy on youtube

yeah, basically all you need to grill em (although I add garlic powder too; little rosemary if feeling fancy). I usually finish with a little bbq sauce like >>21508472.

other uses are braised (soy sauce, ginger, pinch sugar; or onion, garlic, tomato) or stewed (I like em in Japanese curry)

Seperate, bread and fry.
Could make sandwiches. Dark meat is pretty shitty for most uses.
These aren't even cheaper where I am, just seems like it is because most of it is bone.

You are a fucking retarded moronic faggot. Get the fuck off this board.

rub them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and a little brown sugar and bake/broil them with a serving of parboiled potatoes. Try to have a side of cheap veggies like broccoli to fill you up as well. This was my go-to broke ass college student meal until I discovered those no name frozen chicken burger patties which are like the cheapest $/lb protein option

consider these OP, they sustained me when I was saving all my money to buy beer. I could get a 1kg bag of them for like 2.99 and they'd last me almost a week and it seems like in the good ol USA you can get 24oz for 5 bucks
