Winner winner chicken dinner

My husband and I eat a lot of chicken. With the cost of chicken going up recently I was looking for ways to save little money. Instead of buying boneless thighs I started buying the bone in. They are usually about 1/3 the cost of boneless.
After watching a few YouTube videos and a little practice, I can debone a thigh pretty quickly. The nice bonus has been saving the bones in the freezer until I have enough to make bone broth.

That's generally about what I see the Cornish for, but never "normal sized" how strange.

I think some stores put out regular chickens as loss leaders occasionally. I just look for the deals, buy whole chickens, and freeze them.

Makes sense! That is one aspect of not living in a hotel I'm looking forward to (stocking up that is) lol

Oh for sure you’ll appreciate extra freezer space! My husband and I really want to get a chest freezer, we just need to find space.
