Goodbye, boneless chicken.
Food retailers across North America are swapping boneless chicken legs for less popular thighs and drumsticks as a wave of shutdowns at meatpacking plants has reduced supplies of sought-after cuts.
Covid-19 infections among workers at some of the largest meat processing plants in the U.S. and Canada have reduced slaughter capacity, and in some cases the types of cuts available. Outbreaks have shut down almost a third of U.S. pork capacity and the growing wave of disruptions has spurred plans by President Donald Trump to order meat-processing plants to remain open. In Canada, Cargill Inc. has idled its beef plant in High River, Alberta, which accounts for about 40% of Canadas processing capacity while JBS SAs beef plant in Brooks, Alberta, is running at about half capacity.
Quebec-based Goodfood Market Corp., which delivers meals on a subscription basis, said it will be substituting its regular boneless chicken for bone-in thighs, legs and drumsticks as the poultry industry shifts away from de-boning to ramp up production.
Poultry suppliers are still facing labor shortages and many of them are operating with less than 50% of their regular workforce, Goodfood Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Ferrari wrote in an email to customers. To ensure the essential supply of chicken for Canadians across the country, the poultry industry as a whole is shifting away from de-boning chicken legs to increase their production capacity.

You have to wonder the same about some apparently boneless humans...
****And what about odds and ends? If you have twenty-three odds and ends on the table and twenty-two of em fall off, whaddaya got, an odd or an end?****
Of course its an end, because its the last one.
And as far as I know, NOBODY else in the USA ever has either.
So HOW can they been “more popular” that bone in legs and thighs?
same here.
Those Dem states have the higher number.
Dem run areas in red states have the higher number.
The Dems are inflating these numbers in their states, and areas to
1. get more of a bail out
2. prolong this to hurt the economy.
3.have mail in voting.
Whilst they do this and use scare mongering in the media they have hearings leading to impeachment if the President wins re-election.
Ruining peoples lives so the Democrats gain their own power. Disgusting
Eventually the toll will be about 600,000. The other scary flu viruses are still out there and they continue to kill. This one is ripping through for the first time. It doesnt slow until most of us have had it.
Us population 330,000,000
annual deaths 2,900,000
Why is ok to die from anything but Corona?
Hint: Orange man bad.
Hi old friend! Hope you are well and staying safe!
Boneless chicken?
You mean chickens have bones? Next think you’ll be telling me is that they have skin.
weeks ago MA had much less cases than us here inFL.
They went on a massive lockdown as I know as my in laws are there.
Here in FL we had stores open, parks we can go out to places like Lowes etc, and yet we have no thousands less cases.
This needs pointing out why Dem areas with massive lockdowns have more cases.
True! Trump is being duped!
I’ve seen boneless thighs but not legs.
Saw a guy out today with his dog, mask on running about like a headless chicken because he did not want anyone with 20 feet of him.
He was the only one with a mask, and looked like he had took the CNN scaremongering right in.
I’ve seen boneless thighs.
True! He needs to wake up and get rid of the two dr doomsdays who have given him false information and destroyed the best economy in history
now not no
Nope. Some of us said from day 1that it wasnt the end of the world. Heck even Fauci said it at Day 1.
Then the Chicken Freepers, most of whom I suspect get a check from the government, became hysterical by listening to the Progressive party experts and went running for the embrace of government. Even now they are fearful to the point of inflicting tyranny on the rest of us.
We should have a poll to see who supports the obliteration of liberty for a little Corona prophylactic and those who support liberty I the face of the scary Corona virus.
After which Jim may need to rename this forum. Or start a new one.
****it will be substituting its regular boneless chicken for bone-in thighs, legs and drumsticks****
Now that Neil Peart is gone, there are plenty of drumsticks to go around.
As long as youre not one of the 50k....right?
Have one of my Grandmothers cook books from the late teens.
One recipe starts out; “first, kill a chicken”
Speaking of which, on the lighter side, you should have seen the looks on my kids' faces, years ago, when I told them I was planning to bone a chicken.
...raccoon is rather gamey...

Remove visible fat. (It’s around the outside under the skin)Boil in 3 changes of water. Drain. It’s dense dark meat. Cut into convenient chunks, layer with bacon and peeled, quartered sweet potatoes. Cover well. Roast @350 until tender. (Check. It’s been a long time & I don’t recall time needed.)
Bacon flavors the meat and potatoes. Potatoes absorb bacon grease. Meat is rich, so a little goes a long way. Surprisingly good.
