Bought some chicken thighs and decided to debone them and scrape the skin... a little time consuming, but to save $1.30/lb..
So - deboned, scraped, and dusted with some Plowboys Yardbird...

Off to the Traeger for an hour @ 325 ish...

OK -so it is amazing how much fat comes off those suckers!!!
A COLOSSAL PITA... but I suppose it's worth it...

BTW - comp guys have lost your minds to go through that every week!

I've scraped the skin a few times. Just enough to gross me out. There is so much slimy fat on that skin. The cutting board and everything gets covered with that slime. I give a lot of kudos to the guy doing the chicken in comps....
By the way, the chicken looks great!

And you have a lot of leftover bones for chicken stock! Real stock, not the fake stuff you get from the store paying $3 a quart for it lol.

You are correct my friend!
I debone mostly because these are going to work as our lunch. Much easier to eat. This is the first time I really took any time to trim up well and scrape the fat... Amazing how much there was....:shocked:

Those look great! I'm cooking some this weekend but will try them on my ribolator to see if I can't get a crispier skin then just the standard indirect way.
