How do you prefer your chicken parts

[In The Sticks]

It depends on how I want to use the chicken. I love the skin so I always buy it that way.
One thing I won't do is bone a chicken. I got a fantastic buy on chickens a few years ago. I think I even posted it here at the time,anyway I boned them all. I Cooked up all the chicken frames, separated the parts for meals and wrapped them all for the freezer.
I was at it for days,chicken guts all over the place.
I now have a new respect for the butcher. I'll never do it again.

I don't understand. You didn't cook the chicken first and then bone the cooked meat off of it?

Why wouldn't they include the skin? that's the best part of the chicken!!

I agree with that. The data I have tells you yield, including skin and excluding skin.

When I roast a chicken, it's on a wire stand to lift it off of the roasting rack, and you start at a high temp to crisp that baby up. Basting with butter also helps.

I prefer skin on and bone in...but I eat boneless, skinless chicken thighs.

I do think if you want flavor you need the bone in at least.

Since I’m trying to gain weight I should get the ones with skin but old habits are hard to break.

The best gravy is homemade from chicken skin grease/drippings... I'm sure it has a lot of calories, too..

Once a month we do brunch at church. The favorite is Biscuits & Gravy.

All I can think is "The two foods that were invented to salvage grease, and we're eating them together."

All I can say is: "Seconds?"

And imagine, in the Northeast, the only time most folks see gravy is with Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners!!!

Depends on the recipe. I love whole roasted chicken, but last night we had chicken cacciatore and it was delightful.
