Stop wasting your fucking foodstamps on inferior meat when dark meat is a steal and gives you valuable myoglobin without always resorting to beef. Also tastes better.
>oneless chicken
legs are better, as in everything
>>9231887
you're also paying for the bone in legs

It's too hard to pick the brown meat off without chomping into ligaments and veins and nasty purple/red shit/cartilage.

on a scale of 1 to 11, how much mayo do you like on your subs?
>>9231931
0, red wine vinegar or sweet onion sauce.
>>9231926
chomp thru them, it's only meat
>not eating the whole chicken.
>buying chicken in pieces
>not buying whole chickens and saving even more
>not saving the carcasses for versatile stock after cutting out the desired pieces
Yeah, OP, do go on about how much better it is to buy drumsticks alone.
>>9231919
>He doesn't make stock
Bone in is always cheaper than boneless because you're actually paying for the labor cost of taking the bone out
>>9231919
Bones can be used to make stock, stock can be used to make mohr meals.

>Being this much of a pussy

>is a steal
You're paying by the pound, which means you're paying for a lot of bone, tendon, and fat that you aren't going to eat. Even boneless thighs are a bitch to clean.
They're the least flavorful but boneless skinless breasts are still the most cost efficient.

>not saving the carcasses for versatile stock after cutting out the desired pieces
you can still use the bones from the chicken legs, are you really missing out a lot from the carcass, just to make a stock/broth?
>>9233447
And the bones can be frozen and added to a later stock. It doesn't exclude.
>>9233483
Can I use bones from cooked chicken you already ate from? Instead of throwing them away?
Or is that a no-no in the cooking world because they're not fresh and considered leftover trash?
dont let the soccer moms find out faggot.
>>9234289
It isn't a huge deal because you're going to boil them for a very long time, but if it has breading or a lot of weird seasoning you probably shouldn't use them
>>9232535
This.
For about $6 you can just buy a whole chicken and get two breasts, thighs, drums, enough meat from the carcass and back for 2 meals alone, and enough left over bones to make a half a gallon of stock.
Whole chickens are where it's at.
People buy actual meat with foodstamps? News to me, all I ever see is people with shopping carts full of pre-made meals from the frozen section.
>>9234289
Of course you can.
>>9231887
Bone-in leg quarters (Thighs and legs connected) are best even after counting the weight of the bones.
>>9233359
Yeah, but the weight is still priced in, so slightly it's misleading *how much* more expensive boneless is if you're just comparing pound for pound.
>>9232535
>>not buying whole chickens and saving even more
Bullshit. A 3.5lb broiler / fryer chicken costs abut $5. You can buy a 10lb bag of chicken quarters for less than $6.
If you want white meat, dark meat, and bones, then buy the whole chicken. If you just want cheap chicken go for quarters.
