Finally cracked the code on cheap chicken thighs - they don't have to be dry
So last Tuesday I was in my tiny kitchen trying to stretch $40 for the whole week. Had this pack of chicken thighs that were on clearance for $3.50. Normally I just bake em and they come out sad and chewy. But my neighbor came over to borrow a hammer and saw me struggling. She's like "yo, try braising them in a can of cheap tomato sauce with some onions." Threw it all in a pot on low for like 45 minutes. Came out so tender I couldn't believe it. Cost maybe $4 total for dinner plus leftovers. Has anyone else found a weird cheap trick that turned a boring ingredient into something good?

Did I finally find a way to not ruin the cheapest meat in the store or is that just beginner's luck?
