Lidl Gluten-Free Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Baked Chicken Wings with Crinkle Cut Fries and Cauliflower
Description: A generous portion of crispy oven-baked chicken wings is seasoned and roasted alongside golden crinkle cut fries for a satisfying, naturally gluten-free dinner for two. Roasted cauliflower florets round out the plate with a light, caramelized side that balances the richness of the wings.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh whole chicken wings (family pack, $1.99/lb), Frozen crinkle cut French fried potatoes (32 oz., $1.99), Cauliflower (1 ct., $2.49)
Prep time: 55 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately 2 lbs of chicken wings for two people (roughly 8-10 wings total); the 32 oz. bag of fries provides ample servings across the week so use about one-third of the bag tonight; cut half the cauliflower head into florets for two. Total cook time is close to 60 minutes, so preheat the oven early and prep the cauliflower while the wings start roasting to keep everything on schedule.
