Meat, poultry, and seafood deals around town

Many cooks agonize as to whether to choose chicken breasts with bones or those without. The fact is that the method of cooking will probably determine which is best for your recipe. Chicken breasts that will be sautéed in a shallow pan on top of the stove should be of the boneless variety. These can be sautéed whole or cut in strips or chunks for recipes like stir-fry or salads.

Chicken dishes that call for chicken to be cooked in the oven usually work best with boned chicken.  Leaving the skin on while roasting will result in a juicier meat, but if you prefer not to eat the skin, you can discard it before serving. Here are some of the meat, poultry, and seafood deals for the week of Monday, January 30.
