Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are becoming easier to find in supermarkets as well as warehouse clubs, where they come individually packaged. Not only do they offer more flavor and juiciness than breast fillets, but they’ll save you $1.20 per pound. If you can’t find them at your store, buy thighs and bone them yourself—just remember to save the bones and skin in a resealable bag in the freezer for chicken stock!

Sherlock, the Evidence is in the Freezer
Posted by Dawn Welch
If you eat chicken and vegetables (okay, so that’s like all of us!), then you should have a stock bag in your freezer. To it I’ll add veggie trimmings (peeled carrot tips, celery tops, unused onions, stray sprigs of herbs) as well as trimmings from raw chickens like wing tips, backbones, necks, trimmed fat. After a month or so, I usually have enough chicken trimmings (3 to 4 pounds) and veggies to make a great homemade chicken stock, no extra expenditure required!
