Deboning Chicken Thighs

By Judy

Deboning Chicken Thighs - deboned thighsWe love chicken thighs because they are always moist and flavorful. Boneless thighs are at least $1 more a pound than bone-in. I wait until the bone-in thighs are on sale and bone them myself.

Cause of Strong Odor on Clothes
One day I was going to school and I realized that people were covering their noses and sniffing when I walked past them. Once I went home I took a sniff of my clothes and they smelled horrible. I used vinegar, baking, and borax. I still to this day don't know why my clothes smell even though I put them in the laundry.
