Our May recipe of the month is Crispy Baked Chicken and it is a popular one. Boneless, skinless chicken is coated in crushed cornflakes and baked. Serve this tasty chicken with a fruit and a vegetable and you have a complete meal. Many people I have talked to about this recipe like to season the crushed cornflakes beyond the garlic powder. Some suggestions I have received include basil, Italian seasoning, chili powder, lemon pepper, and oregano. If you have a favorite herb or spice give it a try!
Recently, we have been talking a lot about unit pricing on the blog. This recipe is a great chance to use your unit pricing skills when buying the chicken. The recipe calls for 1 ½ pounds of boneless, skinless chicken. This can take several forms, so lets look at the unit price below to see what is the best buy.
Breasts | Price
Package Size Unit Price |
$5.90
1.69 pounds $3.49 per pound |
Thighs | Price

$3.83
1.54 pounds $2.49 per pound |
Tenders | Price
Package Size Unit Price |
$5.62
1.28 pounds $4.39 per pound |
In this case, the chicken thighs were the best buy. Remember, prices will change from week to week, so make sure to double check the unit price before you buy.
Enjoy!
