Competition chicken de-boned?

[jasonjax]

I was wondering for your professional competitiors, do you de-bone the thighs before you cook them? Same for those who turn in breast meat?

Thanks.

**EDIT**

I scrolled down a few posts and this question looks pretty well answered already! Sorry for posting the same thing.

I think you will get mixed answers about deboning chicken thighs. I know people who win deboning and not deboning. I would never consider a bone in breast since you need to slice it to get 6.
