I’m a vegetarian, but if I did eat chicken it would be two breasts. And ALL the leftover skin.

> **Satellite** , how do you feel about cukes and onion salad? Its vinegary and the coleslaw is creamy with juuuuuuuust the tiniest hint (I can’t taste it myself) of vinegar.

Throw some tomatoes in that salad. A little bit of salt and some cayenne pepper, and we’re good to go.

For the chicken, give me the breasteseses. I know where the bones and gristle are on those. Unexpected gristle turned me off bone-in chicken for close to 20 years.
