Budget Good Eats is one of the hardest things to do. When you set your mind to making a meal, you're considered about making a great dinner. You never want money to stand between you and quality. Many of the artists on the show adhere to a strict budget, but they don't compromise taste. Today we highlight easy and cheap meals that tickle your taste buds.

Budget Good Eats

The inspiration and recipe for today's meal comes from Anna Goldfarb. She shares the recipe with comedians Drew Castellano, Matt Haggerty, and host Brian Durkin. This dish borrows from Korean flavors, adding a nice sweet and spicy profile to the meat. All the ingredients can be used for other dishes, which is a true sign of budget good eats. The gang chats about eating habits while they dine. Closing out the party, the group plays an epic rendition of the trivia games Initial Listen and Continue Shopping.

That Budget Chicken Recipe

Check it that you got these ingredients.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Gochujang or Moroccan Red Pepper Sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp Seaseme oil
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
• 4 boneless chicken breasts

Instructions:

• In a bowl mix everything except the chicken. The sauce should be the consistency of ketchup. Taste it to your liking. Want it spicier? Add more pepper sauce/paste. Want it sweeter? Add more honey.
• Once the marinade is on point, add the chicken. Brian recommends cutting the breasts into small chunks. More surface area will help the marinading process, and allow the chicken to cook fast without drying out. Put in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably over night.
• Add the chicken and remaining liquid to a pan with a light coat of olive oil. Cook over medium heat. The sauce may turn a dark red. This means it's caramelized and extra tasty.
• Serve over some rice which you were supposed to be cooking in parallel this whole time.
