Roasted Chicken Drumsticks & Vegetables In Plum Sauce Under $5


I made this tonight for dinner. The preparation is extremely simple and fast. Love this dinner a lot better than the usual take-out I get. Making a good home cooked dinner is not as much trouble as I thought. I can't get any take-out dinner for 4 anywhere cheaper than this, I bought the drumsticks for $2.20, vegetables for $0.88 from Ralph's manager sale tonight. The steam rice I served this with was from the Chinese restaurant leftover my client treated me to 3 days ago. The seasonings are already in my pantry and have been there for a while, glad that I found this recipe to use up the plum sauce that my mother gave me when she won a whole box of 2 dozen from some charity lucky draw she attended... You can find the recipe here.

Quick Sticks


This recipe was originally featured in Martha Stewart Living Magazine November 1997 issue in the article "Making Crackers", sort of to give readers an idea of making cracker gifts for the holidays. When brainstorming for money saving ideas, I suddenly remember this article I read when I was in college... glad to find the recipe updated on Martha Stewart's Website with how-to video.
