 Recipe review for Wild Rice w/Chicken Leg Quarters

My family enjoyed this meal.  I can see myself making this fairly often...Today, I went to the market and found chicken leg quarters on sale for $0.79.  I've never purchased chicken leg quarters before and I don't know how much they usually cost but it looked like a big enough chunk of meat for less than the cost of Costco's chicken breast so I bought 3 packs.  I didn't know what to use them for so I went on Google and found this recipe.  Glad that I did~
Since one of the packs that I used had 3 pieces, instead of using the 4 pieces, I just used 3 legs but used the same amount of everything else (1 can of condensed soup, 1 pack of instant rice, etc.).  I did reduce the amount of liquid to just one cup (because a lot of other people recommended doing so). 
I did have to play with the cooking time though.  Initially, I baked the chicken at 350' for 45 minutes, then after adding the rice mixture, baked it again for close to an hour. 
Meal price breakdown:
chicken: $3.26
rice a roni: $1.00
broccoli: $0.50
canned soup: $0.56
sour cream: *approximately $0.60
Sour Dough Bread: $0.27
TOTAL:  $6.19
Served 3, + Leftover for 2
Each serving:  $1.24
Dinner tonight:  $3.72
