Mix and Match

I was at the supermarket over the weekend and wanted to buy a chicken to barbeque for tonight's dinner. I wanted a whole chicken, cut up. I looked in the meat showcase and each chicken was over $11. I am not talking about oven stuffers. I am talking about the regular size ones. There was no way I was buying that. I looked further and decided to "build a chicken". I bought 2 breasts for $1.85. I bought 3 thighs for $1.63. I bought 4 huge wings for 1.73. I skipped the drumsticks as they were over $3.00 for 4 scrawny ones. The total was $5.21 for 9 pieces. One more than the usual 8 pieces. I think I did well.
