I know that buying with the bone in is less expensive. How much less? That
I don't know. But in this house, nobody will eat the breast with the bone
in. Husband finds it to be too much work and Angela and I have an aversion
to bones in our food. Oddly she will eat chicken legs. This is the only
thing with a bone that she will eat. Not sure she knows it is a bone. She
refers to it as a stick. Those are cheaper, yes. I don't like them and I
don't like messing with them. But they do like them so a few times a year,
I will make them for them.

I can not bring myself to bone and skin a piece of chicken or take apart a
whole chicken. If I were alive way back when people had to do their own
meats like that I surely would have been a vegetarian. In fact it is the
bones that is partially the reason I became a vegetarian to begin with. I
don't know if boneless, skinless chicken breasts were even available back
then. I think not. My mom left me a package of chicken parts and a recipe
and a note to make dinner. I could not bring myself to touch the chicken
parts. We had dissected a frog earlier that day in school. The chicken
parts just reminded me of that. I am very suggestible.
