It works for me because the wife doesn't like dark meat!

I've smoked a lot of chickens and just do not care that much for them and that is probably why I do not buy the rotisserie ones.

Really? You give chicken bones to your dogs?

Exactly.

fast/processed "food" has just about no nutritional value and in the end you will pay for it.

Uncooked chicken bones are fine for a dog. Cooked ones not so much. They splinter and can cause massive harm to their intestines.

Go to the store, buy some seasonal vegetables and fruits on sale.

Healthy and frugal.

We eat fruit and vegetables everyday, this was a rare fast food outing, it was a good deal and the kids enjoyed it.

End of story.
