I realized I could make Kentucky Fried Chicken's $30 "Bargain Bucket" of chicken into multiple easy dinners, lunches, and breakfasts for my family of four. With a little creativity and planning, this affordable meal option became a versatile solution for our weekly menu.
The Bargain Bucket, filled with a generous assortment of chicken pieces, provided the perfect base for several delicious meals. For dinner, I served crispy fried chicken with homemade coleslaw and mashed potatoes, creating a satisfying family feast. The next day, I shredded leftover chicken to make flavorful chicken tacos topped with fresh salsa and avocado, giving a fun twist to our lunch.
Not stopping there, I used the remaining chicken to whip up a hearty chicken soup, packed with vegetables and noodles, for a comforting dinner. Finally, we enjoyed chicken and waffles for breakfast, turning the leftovers into a delightful morning treat. This budget-friendly bucket not only saved us money but also inspired a week of delicious and diverse meals.
