Excellent food (chicken/fryer) purchase opportunity 4/2/18

[Jamie Jackson]

I always check the Weekly ad at Kroger's and must have missed this one! $0.29 lb for whole fryers. Several are gonna be vac sealed (will last 1-2 years and no freezer burn) and one is in the oven as I type this. 

This is Monday 4/2/18 and the sale should run through tomorrow.

If you haven't had Tony's  Opelousas baked chicken I feel sorry for you. Time to get your Cajun on!  

Not all food storage has to be freeze dried...

 

Have a great day folks.

Jamie

I forgot to attach this pic in my first post. Just in case they give you a runaround Bersa.

Caution...Tony's is addictive!

If they are not sold out they won't give me any issues and already have Tonys up in my spice cabinet so got that covered!!!!

I smoked a couple of these a few weeks ago, de-boned the meat and chopped it up in the food processor, and made smoked chicken raviolis.  Looks like I'll have to stock up and get the smoker going again.

Looks like I am going to be stopping at Krogers on the way home.

I was in Kroger yesterday and did not see this.

[bersaguy]

I was just there 20 minutes ago and thr butcher said they never had any at that price. Must have been a select few stores that had them and not all stores. May have been just a Knoxville area thing and not all stores.

[Jamie Jackson]

Whew! Glad I took the pic! 

I even asked the meat department manager...West Knoxville/Farragut store. Sorry it's not available in other locations folks.

Not your fault buddy some folks have all the luck and that time it was yours. I went up to my Krogers prepared to buy about 10 of them so look at the money I saved............LMAO

This is an effort to make amends for posting what turned out to be a one day only manager special...I checked again yesterday and the fryers were back up to $0.88/lb.

Here is the recipe for Tony's Seasoning. It from Tony Chachere's Cajun Country Cookbook. I picked up my copy around 1978-79 and started making this seasoning....long before it was manufactured commercially.

I’ve always known Chachere’s was basically salt but are you sure about that 26 ounces?

LOL. Yep...26 oz is a typical round bold fashioned box of salt.

I would imagine the Tony's you pick up in a grocery store is made with less salt. Home made is definitely better imho.

Have you ever seen any of the Justin Wilson cooking videos? He was on MS public or Educational TV back in my younger days. It'd probably frighten most "health conscious" folks to see the amount of salt he routinely used in preparing his most excellent Cajun dishes.

I do remember watching Justin back in the day but wasn’t paying attention to what he was cooking, just digging the way he talked.
