The wife has been on a little bit of a soup kick lately so I decided to make some homemade chicken soup. I was going to pick up a whole chicken or two but Rouse's has chicken leg quarters $2.90 for a ten pound bag. Can't beat that price and the dark meat has better flavor too. So I picked up a bag yesterday and this morning I put them on to simmer for a while to cook the chicken for deboning and to get a nice stock from it. Of course they are frozen in one chunk but not a problem. As they thawed and separated I realized that these are some nice meaty leg quarters so I'll definitely stop back and pick up another one or two bags for grilling. I was surprised as I thought they'd be scrawny and fatty but these are nice!
I thought I'd pass this on in case some like a good leg quarter or want to do as I'm doing with making a nice soup.

now thats how you make a pot of gumbo for $5 that will feed 30 people!!

@ 29 cents/lb you can dump TEN POUNDS of chicken into your gumbo for $3

I've found a few small feathers attached to the ones of bought. No big deal, just look closely and have a pair of pliers.

Opinions on thawing enough to break the chunk of chicken into smaller portions and refreezing them separately? I don't usually have much use for 10 pounds of chicken at a time

I remember buying leg quarters on sale in the late 80s for that same price, and it was a bargain 25+ years ago.

Now it's practically free.

I grilled a pack of these up this past saturday and then proceeded to spend all Saturday night with abdominal pain and vomiting. Let me know if anyone had this happen. I'm hesitant to use the other 2 packs I have in the freezer.
