What did we think about this viral “recession-proof” recipe?
I have a hard time using the term “chicken” in this recipe since there isn’t any actual chicken, but rather the “chicken flavor” from the ramen seasoning. The flavor is not super hot, I’d add more hot sauce if you want your mouth to be on fire, but it has a nice kick.
Ramen noodles are relatively inexpensive, making them an economical option for many people. Recession low-cost meals are important for families to get the most out of their meals, and ramen noodles tend to provide that.
At less than 1 dollar per serving, this dish ranks high on the affordability scale!

Changes we would make
We def love the challenge of making the noodles appetizing and Franks red hot does that! But overall, this dish would be even better with some actual chicken pieces.
