Boneless chicken costs about twice as much as regular chicken.
I can buy 1 kg of whole chicken for the same price as 500 g of boneless.
How much edible meat does 1 kg of regular chicken give? If it's more than 500 g, wouldn't the regular chicken be the better deal?
I know the breast has more protein than other parts, so based on raw protein per rupee, which is the better option – 1 kg regular or 500 g boneless?

No way, that's too pricey. Where do you live, buddy?
Buy 1 kg of regular chicken, ask the butcher to remove all the bones and give you boneless pieces. You can give the leftover bones to your dog or use them to make a bone broth.
I usually buy about 2.5 kg of chicken, ask the butcher to give me only the breast pieces and then debone them. I keep the wing pieces for making curry. It's a lot more cost‑effective. Since I'm a regular customer, the butcher never has any problem doing this every time I order.
560??? What's that? It's only about 300 per kg here. Even at a premium shop the price tops out at around 380-420.
Man, I'm craving chicken right now!
In Tamil Nadu, boneless chicken goes for around 300 per kg.
Buy bone‑in chicken and debone it yourself – it takes about 10 minutes. Use the leftover bones to make broth.
I used to get angry seeing 1 kg with bone and skin for 160-180, while boneless was 300-350. In the past few weeks the prices were as close as in the picture.
Thanks to you, I'm finally at peace with it.
Bro, I pay 400 per kg for boneless thigh meat and 300 per kg for breast. Is chicken really that pricey down south?
To end up with 1 kg of boneless chicken, you need to purchase roughly 1.5 kg of bone‑in chicken.
Bones usually account for about 30-33 % of the total weight.
So 280 × 1.5 equals 420, which should be the cost for 1 kg of boneless. They're charging about 140 extra per kg.
They haven't listed a price for 1 kg of breast pieces, assuming their boneless is all breast.
