When it's too hot to grill, the air fryer to the rescue! When food prices are rising each week, Food City to the rescue!
If you have the option of shopping for the day's meal, you can sometimes find great bargains like this! Four large chicken drumsticks, blackened seasoned, and ready to cook for $2.66! Yes, they needed to be frozen or cooked that day, but that was great for us because I did cook these for our supper.
With temperatures still in the high 90s, I decided to utilize my air fryer.
I placed the drumsticks on the grill pan and let the air fryer preheat on the "chicken" setting. That automatically set the temperature at 360 degrees F. and the time for 45 minutes.
Halfway through the cooking down, I removed the tray from the air fryer and turned the drumsticks over and returned to complete cooking.
With 10 minutes remaining on the cook time, I checked the internal temperature and the drumsticks were at 180 degrees F. They were ready to eat!
These salads are a breeze to assemble and are so refreshing. Simply slice a very ripe tomato and place sliced mozzarella cheese in between the tomato slices. Lightly salt and pepper and then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar glaze. Either chop fresh basil and sprinkle on top or tear fresh leaves of basil into large pieces and place in between the slices.
This was a super fast meal and extremely easy on my food budget!
Air fryer to the rescue. The caprese looks really good.
