I rarely buy just chicken breast fillets. I buy a whole bird then butcher it myself. The legs and wings get roasted for picking on and if there is any meat left on the carcass it gets used to either make soup or I cut it off and cook it for the cat.

I also tend to buy boneless thigh meat from the chicken stall on Bburn market for use in curries etc as it has more flavour than breast meat but is just as tender when cooked properly. Its a bit like those people making beef curries with Rump steak, its false economy. You want a good tasty cut like shin or shoulder for that. Most of the problem is that people now don't realise what cuts of meat should be used for what.
