I broke down some Skin on bone in chicken thighs( my favorite part of the bird to eat) to see how much it costs if you just use the meat. You could use the bones and skin for stock and other things but for this purpose I’m just concentrating on the meat.
I’m not gonna go crazy trying to get every last scrap of meat off the bones, just a simple cutting out. Speed, not yield.
First off the tag-
4.41 lbs @ $1.29/lb= $5.69
$5.69 divided by 2.22 lbs of meat yield=$2.56 per lb of meat.
Much cheaper than boneless skinless thighs or breasts purchased.
