My wife doesn't care for the legs much so I usually get those if she buys a whole chicken or they go into soup. Our preference is the thighs, which can also a lot of times bought cheaply.

Way back before low carb ketogenic for us we almost always just got white meat. Breasts mostly but sometimes the wishbone. Always ordered white meat when we ate out. But after changing our diet it is funny our tastes changed. I guess where we got to eating a lot more fat and fatty cuts of meat now the dark meat tastes better to us.

Although whereas chicken used to be high on our list of meats we liked, we rarely eat it any more. We just prefer and eat mostly pork and beef. Maybe once a month wife will fix chicken as a main dish. She does use ground chicken in what she calls chicken gnocchi (a pasta substitute for us). 

I am typing this out and she asks if I want that recipe........... sure. Why not.


Chicken gnocchi:
two eggs
one pound of ground chicken
teaspoon salt

In a food processer add eggs, salt and ground chicken
Optional add Italian seasoning or garlic powder to taste
Blend well in food processor to basically a paste consistency 
Place in a large piping bag or zip lock bag (half inch tip on the end)
Boil water with salt added
Drop nuggets of the chicken blended meat into boiling water
Cook till done (maybe 30 seconds to a minute)
Drain and use it like you would pasta
Makes great low carb macaroni and cheese substitute by adding cheese sauce (we have that as a side dish to steak or pork probably at least once every ten days and more often sometimes). She adds chees sauce made from melted cheese and heavy cream with a little cream cheese, adds it to the chicken, then sprinkles shreadded cheese on top of a baking dish and bakes it till the cheese on top is melted (heats up well for leftovers). Or you can just pan fry it in butter with some seasoning. Pasta replacement.
