Also, all of a sudden, all we can find are boneless skinless chicken breasts, no bone in and skin on. I like the bone in (grills and bakes better) and the skin is easy to remove (if you want it that way....).
The .29 cents per pound chicken drumsticks and thighs, I guess they call them leg quarters was not that long ago. I can remember being amazed that they could sell them at that price.
My idea was just about everyone was selling chicken breast sandwiches, which were actually pretty good and chicken wings. The leg quarters was what was left over and they just wanted to get rid of them.
I remember my grandmother telling stories about going to the meat market and asking for chicken wings, as they were considered almost garbage. They made stock with them. She laughed when she heard we were going to a bar to get some wings.

younger Millennials and older Gen-Zs “don’t do bones”, so I’ve been told by some of their grandparents. Hand them a chicken leg, and they stare at it, at a loss of what they’re supposed to do with it. Yes, they are that disconnected from the origins of their food.
