Budget Ingredients that Can Take You Around the World: Chicken

Looking to bargain shop when it comes to poultry savings? Whether you’re a boneless, skinless breast buyer, or go even further along the budget scale with those ten pound bags of leg quarters, chicken is just plain affordable.

Not only is it available in most places around the world, you can also create several international experiences with it right in your own kitchen. A few ideas?

•   Cashew or Polynesian Chicken
•   Fajitas or Quesadillas
•   Simple Thai Curry
•  Chicken Marsala
•  Coq au Vin
•  Tom Kha Gai or Chicken Lemongrass Soup
•  Skewered Tenders with Asian Peanut Sauce
•  Tetrazini

As you can see, it’s possible to cover the flavors of several continents with this humble ingredient and still stay on budget. Do you have a favorite international recipe involving chicken? I’d love to hear about it.
