Frugal In Florida

Hubby loves his chicken thighs. Most of the time prefers the boneless/skinless ones. I used to be able to buy them real cheap at Costco for about $1.29 but nowdays the price is almost as much as chicken breast so I haven't been buying the boneless ones.  As Winn Dixie has thighs and legs on sale this week for BOGO at $1.79/lb, figured I'd stop and buy a few packages and suggest Teriyaki Chicken Thighs and Sesame Noodles for our Valentine Date Night. (I'm realizing I need to learn how to debone a thigh). I've posted this recipe a few times but now have a little tip. When baking in the oven like this, put the meat on a cooling rack (I have an OLD one that fits perfect in my large baking sheet) ... YES, they do make racks designed for this but seriously, I priced one at $19.99. Ummm, no thanks, I'll make do with what I have!

DH loves chicken thighs. I buy the big packages of boneless/skinless from Costco at about $1.69/lb. Used to be so much cheaper (want to say around $1.29) but apparently, they have caught on. Still say I need to learn how to debone a thigh since I can hit a good deal at $.89, or even $.69 sometimes. 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 tbs brown sugar 4 tbs sherry 4 tbs rice wine vinegar 2 tsp fresh chopped garlic 1 tsp fresh grated ginger (or dry, or the stuff from tube) 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 2 lbs thighs (I use 2 pkgs that has 5 each for a total of 10) 2 tsp sesame seeds Combine first 7 ingredients, mix til sugar dissolves. Pour into ziploc. Add chicken. Turn to coat. Marinate 1 to 4 hours. Either bake, broil or grill til done. Sprinkle with sesame seeds when done, cook another 1 -2 minutes (to toast seeds, or you can do this separately). Enjoy :)
