Looking for some tasty ideas and recipes? 
Here are some recipes from the Blue Ridge PBS archives and from PBS!

Premiering in 1980, Cookin' Cheap was a staple on Blue Ridge PBS for more than 20 years. This comedy cooking show was served up lots of laughs and interesting dishes.   Periodically, we'll share a favorite recipe here from the show.  

This simple and tasty recipe is from season 9 in 1989 - perfect for grilling season! It was sent in by Doug Prillaman of Roanoke, Virginia 

DOUG'S BARBECUED CHICKEN

4 chicken breasts with bone in
1 large bottle zesty Italian dressing

Remove skin from breasts. Marinate them overnight in the Italian dressing. Turn them occasionally while the marinating process is under way. Shortly before the breasts are to be cooked on the grill place them in a microwave-safe dish and partially cook them. This will depend upon your oven. The breasts should be at least ¾ of the way done. They may also be cooked to this state in a conventional oven. Just before serving, finish them over over a charcoal fire, basting them from time to time with the marinade.
