    Rotisserie chicken. Cheapest thing in the store most times, and they’re pre-cooked, pre-seasoned, ready to devour

    I also lived on chicken nuggets for a while, but I can’t recommend those.

    Other comments remind me of potatoes! So many simple ways to prepare them. my favorite is microwave baked potato.

    Rinse it off, stick holes in it with a fork several times, coat it in oil, salt it, and microwave until you can smash it with your fingers (through a napkin, or use the fork). Then bust it open, add whatever sounds good that’s on hand, and eat it up.

    If you don’t add salt to a baked potato, then it pairs well with most oversalted foods. Like pour a can of baked beans over the opened potato.

      One of the best tricks I’ve learned in my time is how to process down a rotisserie chicken. After you strip it of meat, you can toss the carcass, the skin, and the dripping in the bag into a pot and make around 2 gallons of broth or boil it down and freeze it.
