The prices for the separated meat are good compared to buying separated organic chicken elsewhere. It is really hard to use a whole chicken for a lot of recipes that call for chunks of meat, and if you're like me and prefer the dark meat anyway, you're getting a lot of less desirable parts. When you buy a whole chicken you're paying for parts that are less usable, like wings and the neck, and bones that most people don't eat. When I buy the boneless skinless thighs, I'm getting 100% usable meat, all from my favorite cut. All told, definitely worth the extra $1.50 per pound! (I agree that buying boneless skinless breasts is a bad idea, but mostly because dark meat is far tastier and moister than white meat, and way less expensive!)
