This does vary somewhat - when chicken thighs became a more trendy ingredient a few years ago prices for chicken thighs rose pretty dramatically. I mostly noticed because I was semi-regularly making a very simple slow-cooker chicken chili that used boneless skinless chicken thighs.
Also, where in the US are you paying $10/pound for chicken breast? In the Chicago area even "boutique" organic boneless/skinless chicken breast is seldom above $6/pound, regular full-price conventional chicken breast is typically $3-4 depending on where you shop, and B/S breast is often on sale for at or below $2/pound (rarely below $1.49/pound).
- DaveInTucson 10y agoPerhaps OP was referring to the pre-cooked chicken available at the deli counter? That's typically a lot more expensive than buying it raw.
- cheald 10y ago$10/lb seems insane to me. I routinely pay $2/lb for mine at Costco ($20 for a 10lb bag of frozen boneless/skinless chicken breast).
- wil421 10y agoEven at Whole Foods the air cooled chick breast are rarely over 6.99 a pound and it seems like the norm for "boutique" chicken. I think I got bone in breasts for around $3.79 a pound at publix this week.
- Spooky23 10y agoI'm in upstate ny. Small packages of chicken breast are typically $7/lb. Large packages at a wholesale club are $3/lb for Perdue, $2/lb for the mystery brand. Whole Foods is much higher. We have a supermarket oligopoly that keeps prices high, I noticed supermarket prices in a few NYC stores were in line with warehouse clubs at home.
