Rotisserie Chicken Wednesday

BugsI'm so hungry, even these bugs look tasty. Well, maybe not but I am getting peckish. Always happens about this time of the day. Unfortunately, it makes me think about some sort of trashy food. So, today you'll have to come along with me on my afternoon food fantasy. Maybe you'll even get dinner out of it.

Okay, it's Rotisserie Chicken Wednesday. How about chicken sloppy joes, cole slaw with shredded Granny Smith apples and, and, and ... steak fries! Start the steak fries before everything else.

Here's how it's done:

The Pollo Joes: Take the skin off and shred the chicken with your fingers; set aside. Saute a chopped onion and smashed, minced clove of garlic in a bit of olive oil; about 5 minutes. Dump in the chicken, then dump in a can (or two depending on how much chicken you've got) and heat through. Serve the melange (fancy word for some pretty low-brow food!) on those French hamburger rolls they sell at Publix. Lots of substance to these buns which you need to hold the juicy chicken.

The Apple Slaw: Make your favorite cabbage slaw or buy pre-made and add shredded, tart Granny Smith apples. Leave the skin on; there's nutrition there.

The Steak Fries: Cut a few large potatoes (I like Russets for this) in large wedges. Spritz a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Coat the potato wedges with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake in a 400-degree oven for about 25 minutes and flip halfway. Too boring? Then sprinkle with seasonings of your choice: minced garlic and fresh rosemary; steak seasoning; crushed dried thyme; minced garlic and onion powder. Whatever.

I am so hungry right now!
