Okay–you guys have made me hungry. I just ordered fried chicken from the Chinese place a few blocks down. It should be delivered–piping hot and fresh from the fryer–in about 30 minutes.

Do you serve the paprikash with the bone in and skin on? If so, do you just eat around both?
I know that the breasts have the most meat, and that the thighs are the juiciest, but I’ve always preferred the legs and wings, maybe because they’re easier to eat around the bones?
Eating organ meats in today’s day and age seems like an unnecessary throwback to me. Some people may like the taste, some people are used to it. Why not have fried chicken cloaca?
Organ meats disgust me. I was tricked into eating braunschweiger as a kid and didn’t mind it, but when I found out it was liver it turned my stomach. Have there been any studies to show that eating organ meat is beneficial?
Nope. I’ve never seen a buffet at KFC, but I remember when Wendy’s had a buffet. I used to love it as a kid (still love Wendy’s), I realize it probally wasn’t as good as what I remember in my head.
Here you go. Scroll down, it’s in there.
Yep! Bone in. Skin on is the typical presentation. Just the way it should be. 
I don’t know all this about this eating around both. I eat the skin. The bones I leave on the plate, though.
Yeah, I figured it would be something like Coq au Vin in that regard. My wife is not a fan of that type of dish, since she doesn’t really like the soft skin. I usually just remove it on her piece.
Feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you’d like.
Except for liver, they tend to be lower in fat than a lot of the standard leg/breast/wing cuts. And liver, while higher in fat, is high in iron.
IMO the stigma of organ meats seems to stem from the perception of them as “poor people food.”
liver at least has shitloads of vitamins and other micro nutrients. I personally don’t care for it because (I’m guessing) the high iron content makes it taste sort of like blood. but the fact that it’s liver doesn’t bug me.
Nah. If you have no problems eating the flesh of another animal, I don’t see why organ meats should be particularly disgusting. I love liver when prepared well. Love love love it. When I was a kid it was a special treat to find that chicken liver floating in your portion of chicken soup. I wasn’t as fond of hearts–I mean, they were fine, but they didn’t call out to me like liver did. Brains I can take or leave, kidneys I don’t particularly care for, but there are days I would prefer liver to a porterhouse steak.
