BBQ with Home Fries

Last night’s dinner was delicious, easy, and cheap. In all, it cost somewhere between $10-$15 and made 4 helpings. We bar-b-qued the chicken on our super-cheap charcoal grill that we bought on sale last fall ($50 at Home Depot). Thankfully we finally had a nice day with which to use it!

Blackened Chicken Home Fries Mixed Vegetables

  • Blackened Chicken: 4 chicken thighs covered in a sauce made of tomato paste, red wine vinegar, and orange juice. Grilled for about 25 minutes, turning 4 times.
  • Home Fries: Two baking potatoes cut into 1/2 inch strips, mixed with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of fresh chives from the AeroGarden, and a teaspoon of salt. Baked for 20 minutes, turning once at 400 degrees. Browned a bit under broiler for the last 2 minutes (watch closely!).
  • Vegetables: One bag of frozen mixed vegetables heated in microwave
