We'll bypass chicken breasts on sale and grab chicken thighs instead. Much more tender and juicy.

Prefer thighs and drumstick. Wife hits the wings first. For just two of us, breasts are often used for sandwiches, tacos, stir fry, and similar.

Boneless thighs are the bomb. Pretend they are boneless breast, But with flavor and juice. We like to get those great big chicken hips, bone and skin them. Then roll them up around homemade stuffing. Tooth pick them together and bake. Bones and skin make broth to mix with drippings. Gravy, 'taters. F'n keto since memorial day! Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

The desert is that little yellow piece of fat(probably a ligament) in the knee joint. I must try feet someday. My mom used to call those back nuggets the “oysters”. I kept the feet’s from our chickens when we butchered this year. I’m a little ascared to cook them. 😳 If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender
