And all this is why I buy boneless and skinless chicken thighs at=20
Costco for $1.89/lb. Grilled, fried, broiled, baked - always nice and=20
moist, always tasty. 100% yield; no waste.

Cooked off about 20 of them tonight to just over medium doneness - up=20
to about 150=B0F. In the fridge now waiting to finish over the next few=20
days. Reheat most wonderfully in the mike with a lettuce leaf wrapped=20
around them to protect. Warm most nicely in a cream sauce.=20
Rethermalize most grandly chopped into a chili base. Re-get-warm=20
coarsely sliced into a rich broth.
