The good news is that at this time slot people- even teens- don't eat as much as at lunch or dinner. The most economical simple choice would be roasted chicken leg quarters- do one per person, cut some into 2 pieces. A good rub (see the jerk rib rub on the bbq page, if you like spicy), or lots of Italian seasoning, some lemon juice, roast them up, enjoy. |
