chicken thighs are easy asf to cook, it's chicken breast that's a challenge

>>77059834
I haven't tried this marinade with breasts yet but I don't see why it wouldn't work with breasts too.

>chicken breast that's a challenge
Just make pulled chicken from them and them make some low cal sauce with it.

>>77059834
Marinate the chicken breast and then stir fry

>>77059834
I sous vide my breast in bulk and just sear them off when I want to eat them.

>>77059834
make it in the oven or air fryer

or, i can go to my local burrito spot and just get something for 10 bucks and not have to do any of this shit and it'll cost the same amount fucking anyway with the way grocery prices are right now.

yeah, i get it, like 5 years ago chicken was less than 2 dollars a pound. not so much anymore for a lot of places and buying all those seasonings and extra shit will only last so long before i have to get them all again. cooking can be fun every once in a while to show off for the girlies and get some mires for knowing a recipe or two but broski just go get a 10 dollar burrito and spread it out through the day. who fucking cares

1. brine your chicken
2. have spent some time in your life cooking
it will be delicious

>As for the macros, it's not the leanest since I use thighs
retard thighs are practically impossible to overcook it's the breast that is hard to get right

We're not exactly at East Asia levels of atomization and the destruction of community yet where it's cheaper to go out to eat but we are getting there. Eventually there will be no market demand for home cooking and we'll all be dependent on Syscoslop

But for the moment, with $15 you can feed yourself chicken and potatoes for the whole week.

This has happened not once in anyone's life

+seasonings, which is another 25 dollar investment, plus meal prep containers, another 20 (one time fee, until they break or corrode into garbage), plus your time and energy which clearly isn't worth anything to you

don't be dishonest about the cost, it really is more than you let on unless you're one of these depressed bodybuilder fags who just eat boiled chicken and siracha on plain white rice.
>This has happened not once in anyone's life
i'm sorry you have zero game, bro. work on it. chicken parm gets em every time

i'm leaving the thread now, have fun

This is the only reasonable thing you said. Everything else is indisputable proof of retardation. I'm not even trying to be mean it's just a fact.

I mean if you have legitimately nothing in your house and it's just a pod to you, I can see not cooking in it for the first few days because it would be exhausting to reach for something and it isn't there, but eventually it makes more sense to cook at your house because the costs of the assets amortize over the span of a few weeks for small stuff like salt and pepper, as well as a few months for appliances and crockery. Unless you only plan on living until this summer or so, there isn't a reason to cite cost as a factor in your decision making.

But this cannot also be true about your living situation if we assume veracity of your Chef (2014) fantasy of impressing women (whom you call 'the girlies') with 'chicken parm.' Unless your redpill game is so good you're couch surfing through every gorgeous single woman's house throughout the city on a nightly basis to impress and woo them with live-in maid service, this means you do have usable shit in your kitchen already to cook with.

For the amount of illicit unions you've had (you stinker, you playa, you high test mad dog, I completely trust you) you likely have a bastard or two running around who is old enough to explain this to you with some napkin math

The reddit state of society. Let me guess, you also "can't afford" to pay back your student loans and hate landlords?

Like the black people affectation you're putting on, the "impression" you make on someone is insubstantial.
It's like the secular version of saying grace before a meal. They're being courteous.
You might as well carry yourself as the absolute confounder of all women the way you're shocking them left and right with how you drive them places, cook for them, open doors for them, etc, affirmed by how impressed and gratified they look to receive the favors.

>>77061332
So do it? Who's stopping you? This thread is clearly for people who want to cook for themselves.

Fucking retard.
