We wanted to do something fun with the kids before school started and decided a trip to Six Flags would be the perfect treat. Knowing the kids would be hot, sweaty and hungry after we walked around in the park for a few hours I planned a quick chicken dinner we could use for a tailgating party. To keep things simple I used finger foods, including Tyson Chicken fries, potato chips and assorted cookies that I purchased in advance from Sam’s Club. By the time we’d ridden several rides the kids were asking, “When do we eat?” I managed to get soaked on Thunder River and told them, “Now! Who’s ready for a chicken snack?” I didn’t have to ask twice before the kids were headed toward the exit.
We had planned to eat at the picnic tables outside the park, but the kids grabbed their chicken fries and settled down in the backseat before I could round them up and direct them toward the picnic area. Feeling refreshed by our meal, we were able to return to the park and tackle the rides with gusto. Because we visited the park on a weekday, the lines were short, meaning we got to ride a lot. The kids dared me to ride some of my favorite childhood rides, like the Swings, roller coasters and all the water rides, while I had made them ride my sedate adult rides, including the train and the sky lift. We had such a good time we stayed until the park closed!
Even though we planned to use our chicken dinner as a picnic, this would be a quick and easy meal on nights when I absolutely don’t have time to cook. Plus, it is much cheaper than going out to eat and takes less time to pull this meal together than making a run through the drive-thru. We packed our meal in a hot or cold insulated cooler and it stayed warm until we were ready to eat. I think these Tyson Chicken Fries would be an easy snack chicken to add to a school lunch, especially since the picky ten year old told me, “These are really good.” When he puts his stamp of approval on a lunch box item I am happy to purchase it for him again!
Do you have any recipes for chicken you would like to share with us?
It’s remarkable to pay a quick visit this website
and reading the views of all colleagues about this post, while I am also
keen of getting know-how.
Make sure to only use a clean, sterilized brush to brush your lashes
a few times throughout the day in order to stimulate growth and keep them clean. You apply these just like
your eyeliner and this acts as a conditioner to stimulate existing lash growth.
Waterproof mascara, when applied correctly, will not clump your
eyelashes together.
I love Six Flags! We have chicken at least once a week and always create something new. You can do so many delicious things with it 🙂
Those look pretty good! But I have to say… I am 24 and have NEVER been to six flags… Horrible, I know!!
That’s good that you guys are building quality time as a family before school starts. Love that idea of preparing easy meals when going out to save money and assurance of eating healthy food than drive-thru’s.
Looks like you all had a really good time. Great before school idea! The chicken looks great too!
Chicken fries-yum! lol
loving this concept. To go foods make life so much easier especially when you think about sports and all the time that running and going
So smart to pack your meal in the car. Amusement park food prices are outrageous. Our first trip to Kings Dominion this year (we have season passes), we spent $75 to feed our family of 6 fast food! The chicken was a great idea.
Oh wow this looks like an amazing day out and YUM want a dinner! x
I really need to try these when we are in a pinch for time. They look good. Hope you had a great time at Six Flags.
Sounds like a lot fun and those chicken fries look delicious! 🙂
What a great idea to pack a picnic to have when at the amusement park. Park food can be very expensive. Having good food to eat that did not cost an arm and a leg is part of the fun when traveling. I need to pick up a pack and see if my family will like the chicken fries.
I have never been to Six Flags but I’m sure you had a blast. Great idea to pack food and take with you. The chicken fries are a quick easy go to for lunches and snacks. A favorite of my youngest son.
We haven’t tried Tyson Chicken, we normally buy chicken breast and we grill them. The Tyson Chicken Fries that you brought looks like a perfect snack to take on the road!
Looks like a blast and easy tailgating?? Can’t beat that!! 🙂
What a fun day… and tailgating too… that would make it perfect. I like Tyson Chicken and buy it quite often. So how did you feel after all those rides? I just can’t do it any longer…
Now that is a great idea! Sounds like you had such a wonderful day with the family!
My favorite chicken recipe is a salsa chicken slow cooker one… so easy!
How fun! We always bring a snack with us. I never thought of bringing chicken, I bet everyone loved it.
My son is sitting here reading posts with me and he says that he wants to go here and he wants Chicken Fries!
Super smart idea to take your own snacks! I love the idea of tailgating at the amusement park, too, that would be a break! Sounds like you all had a fabulous time with your last blast of the summer.
What a great idea to take the family to Six Flags before the summer is over and I love the idea about bringing your own Chicken snack.. that is sooo smart; I need to do that next time we head to Disney, sure will save me a ton of money… great idea… We love the chicken fries, too so I know this will be a hit. Loved your pictures, looks like everyone had a great time…..
I love the convenience of these Tyson Chicken meals. I haven’t found one yet that isn’t my favorite. Great idea in taking these with you to eat.
