Boneless chicken thigh was $1.69/lb at the store today. I can sometimes get bone-in for $.79 but it's really a bitch getting the bones out yourself. Chopped off the fat and sliced thin for quick thaw and cook time.

>spending more for an inferior product
Learn to appreciate the bone like your mother does, anon

I mean, good snag, but then you don't get the fat, nor the bone.

Are you going to freeze most of that?
this is what they turn into. cajun-ish gnocchi. chicken, broccoli, onion, garlic, mushrooms, marinara, beef broth, butter, cayenne, cumin, salt, pepper, bay leaf, little sugar to fix it at the end.
>dry rice
>dry beans
>buy veggies at the chinese markets, veggies on sale, and look for cabbage and other "undesirables"
>learn to butcher a whole chicken, buy when whole chickens are 99c/lb
>find a few condiments you can use to change up the flavor, hot sauces, ketchup, whatever youre in to

Don't cook it bone it then.
Save the bones for stock and pay less while getting more for your money.

There is no flavor there. What do you do, just smother the meat in bbq sauce and ketchup?
