As a college grad living on my own, I figured out pretty quick that bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are a steal. My friend paid way too much for boneless, skinless ones, but I get more for less and use every bit. I stash the skins and bones in freezer bags—skins for shmaltz (amazing for frying potatoes) and bones for broth. It’s wild how much flavor and value you get from what most folks toss. I don’t waste a thing, and my grocery bill stays low. This method’s kept me fed and my wallet happy through some tight months. #Food knowledge #BudgetCooking #ChickenHacks
