The standard lowest prices chicken cut in my experience, here in the US,
and I'm familiar with grocers in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, North and
South Carolina, so I always assumed most anywhere in the US, is 'Leg
Quarters' which is a leg attached to a thigh. Still seeing these on
sale at 45 cents a pound! Sold in 10 pound bags usually. I love these
things as there is lots of meats, unless your hung up on only eating
breast/white meat the Leg Quarters are an outstanding buy.
