Is it normal to prefer chicken on the bone?
At the store, I always buy chicken still with the skin and on the bone. That was how everyone once bought chicken in the meat department before they started processing it into selling it boneless and skinless. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but I find that chicken tastes better from packages still on the bone with the skin, that's when it's still in its more natural state. I think when they skin and debone it, they add other fillers and do something where they rob a little of the natural flavor out of it. Also, it taste better on the bone with the skin because of the skin itself. And it's cheaper. Some people may just be paying a little extra for the boneless because they can't be bothered anymore to remove the meat off the bones themselves, I think. And alot of people prefer the chicken skinless because of less animal fat, but animal fat is not the danger to heart health anymore people thought it was like 20 years ago. Now, transfats are the enemy, and the wrong types of carbs.
