...But wait, you spy a package of chicken leg quarters ... or thighs ... or drumsticks ... or breasts ... whatever you've got ... AND a bottle of Italian dressing. You're saved! You can make my wife's Desperation Chicken! It's fast, it's easy, it works with what you have, and it even tastes good. How can you lose?

Ready, here's the ingredients:

1 package of chicken leg quarters (or the aforementioned thighs, drumsticks, or breasts)

1 bottle of Italian dressing. THAT'S IT!

Rinse the chicken.

Place it in an 11" x 13" baking dish.

Cover the chicken in the dish with dressing.

Cover and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes at 350 degrees.

Serve and, if cooking for others as well as yourself, do not admit how easy it was to make.
