What happened to the chicken skin on chicken breasts?
Sometimes, as in almost all of the time, I want the chicken skin on it. Seems most breast’s offered now have no skin on it. Must be sold separately for something. Skin or No Skin?

Sent to the rendering plant I would imagine.

Or pet food. Chicken by-products

GMO skinless, boneless chicken clones, made in big Petri dishes. Haven't you noticed, they are all right side breasts?

Most of the fat is in the skin. With the emphasis on healthier eating choices, chicken breast w/o the skin is offered as a low-fat option.
It’s being saved for that new dish: bucket o’ skin.
Not minority enough!

Maybe the chicken broth people are buying them up. Pet food? It’s all fun and games until they start taking off the skin off of the chicken legs. Or wings. That’s where the flavor is. sigmonkey— they’re sending all the left breasts up north. Can’t find a homegrown right breast in all of NE Ohio.

I think you have to buy bone-in to get the skin on.
Boneless seems to also always be skinless as well.

We can still find skin-on chicken breasts around here (NV), but it's not boneless.

Maybe Chicken Rinds are the new thing and they just not on the shelf yet where you live.

We have the choice if either at our local grocery store. I can say for sure that skinless breast meat is very low in fat. I went on a couple week chicken protein diet and lost weight.

All of the bone in chicken breasts here have the skin, all of the boneless are also skinless. If you want boneless with skin, you have to debone chicken breasts to get them.

That's a good question. Id also like to know what has happened to chicken breast in general.
A lot of the times it looks like what I call fake meat. It no longer has fibers. It doesn't look like meat anymore. Its like pressed together I don't know what. Doesn't look like muscle.
What has happened to food these days?

This. Bone-in is also 10x tastier than bland boneless skinless chicken breasts that you have to smother in something so it’s edible.

I don't know what happened to the skin or what happens with it, but I can tell you Bone IN, skin ON chicken breast is the only chicken breast I buy. I'm also a big thigh fan. Boneless skinless doesn't move my needle.
