I've noted it too. I'm not a white meat chicken fan overall. When we
make a chicken, most of the breast goes to the doggies (who give us
long suffering looks because they are also dark meat fans).

Most of the time I do leg quarters or thighs because we like it better.
Sadly, we've had quite a few times lately where breast was cheaper than
thighs or thighs were not in stock.
