Trim the Fat While Saving Money

Usually I buy boneless, skinless chicken thighs that are on sale but lately they've been pretty costly so I've purchased thighs with the bone in and skin on.

I've found that many of the thighs have excess fat (yes, I meant to do that) and so I've used my kitchen scissors to trim some of the fat leaving some on for flavor and to keep the chicken moist.

One good recipe is baked chicken with barbecue sauce.

Adding the sauce to the tops of the chicken thighs before cooking sometimes keeps the skin rubbery and unappealing.

First, cook the chicken at a medium to high heat until the fat/skin is rendered and lightly crispy.
Then top with barbecue sauce and cook until done adding more to taste after they're done.
