Recipes for Bone-In Chicken Pieces


Do you ever wonder WHY you'd want to buy 10 pounds of chicken at a time? Yes, buying in bulk often has benefits - and a lower price is only one of them! Preparing meals in bulk ALSO has benefits (and I can't recommend it highly enough, especially if the dinner hour in your house is as crazy as it is in mine)!

Wondering what to do with all of that chicken you bought on sale for a low price? Then here are 10 RECIPES to get you started!


  • Parsley Parmesan Chicken from 30 Day Gourmet
    Chicken pieces dipped in Italian dressing, and coated with a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan and parsley. You can pre-bake this and freeze or simply prepare and freeze.

  • Ziploc Chicken from 30 Day Gourmet (one of our all-time favorites!)
    Marinate chicken with barbecue sauce, cola, garlic & onion powder. Freeze in ziploc bag. Thaw and grill later!

  • Christi's Chicken Marinade from 30 Day Gourmet
    A marinade of soy, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar & garlic - to freeze with the chicken & enjoy later!

  • April's Chicken Marinade from 30 Day Gourmet
    A mix of soy, honey, oil, ginger, dry mustard & garlic

  • Creamy Paprika Chicken from 30 Day Gourmet
    Skinned chicken pieces coated in a sauce of chicken broth, paprika & sour cream. Prep and freeze, then slow cook later. Great served over noodles!

  • Tropical Island Chicken from Taste of Home
    A marinade of soy, canola, garlic ginger, and more!

  • Moist Lemon Chicken from Taste of Home
    Mild lemon zing that keeps the chicken tender.

    Slow Cooked Lemon Chicken from Taste of Home
    Brown chicken in a skillet, then let the crocpot do the rest - with garlic, lemon and oregano.

  • Berry Delicious Barbecue from Taste of Home
    Amazing what condensed tomato soup, cranberry sauce & onion soup mix can do!

  • Italian Chicken Bake from Stacey
    3 chicken leg quarters
    3 medium baking potatoes, diced
    1 c. baby carrots
    1 c. Lite Italian dressing (more or less to your taste)
    1/4 c. grated Parmesan
    1/4 t. black pepper

    Arrange chicken, potatoes, & carrots in a sprayed 9x13 dish. Pour dressing over the top. Sprinkle with cheese and pepper. Bake at 400 for 40-50 min. or until chicken is cooked through.
