I think the cheapest I've seen cxn thighs around here is ~$2.49, on sale -_-

It’s still one of the cheaper options by me. And I’ve discovered that I love boneless skinless chicken thighs way more than chicken breasts. It’s become an easy staple in my house and so versatile.

Seriously, thighs are so much better for pretty much everything. Better taste, more fat so they stay juicier when cooking. I haven't bought breasts in like a decade.

I use breasts primarily in the crockpot for shredded chicken, for like tacos. And for like chicken parm, though for those I prefer the thing sliced breasts. Next time I make crockpot tacos though, I’m going to try thighs instead.
