The Whole Foods butcher counter will debone them for you.

Same. Half the recipes I make use bone-in thighs and dealing with the bone is a PITA. Especially for kids. I use boneless skinless thighs instead but I want that golden brown skin the recipe shows!

My MIL, who is admittedly a pretty labor intensive customer, asks them to do this for her at Whole Foods and they do.

Many whole chickens don’t get sold as people boneless skinless cutlets or drumsticks .

The whole chicken is actually more value for price because you can keep the carcass and bones to make chicken stock, soups, etc,. All the good vitamins and collagen and stuff is in the bones and skins and giblets at least for soups and stews . boneless/ skinless is easier to cook however


But.. you can buy bone in, skin on thighs. So not sure that logic makes sense. I’m far more likely to debone a thigh than break down or roast a whole chicken. I just want them to debone it for me and leave the skin.

DP btw who would love some crispy skin on a weeknight!

It's not that hard, and I'll take it as the price to get to eat the skin, but still. On a weeknight minutes count!
