For me the flavor of meat cooked with the bone is always far more
tastier...I never buy boneless anything (well, except hamburger, of
course or other types of ground meat). Never buy boneless chops, ham,
roasts, or chicken. I prefer chicken with the skin on it too, but I do
remove it from the bigger pieces, such as thighs, because of the fat,
and we both have to watch our cholesterol now.

I think in my "other life" I was a dog, as love chewing around the
bones, especially ribs, chicken and pork chops--yum!
