Thread: Is it ok to use dark meat chicken

My plan is to add some low fat chicken salad to my diet. The dark meat is so much cheaper than using chicken breasts. This is how I will cook it hopefully. I will remove as much skin as possible and boil some legs and thighs. After boiling i will remove any sking that I couldnt get intially. I will then boil it again when all the bones and skin is off and the dark meat is seperated.

Will this be ok.

Dark chicken meat
2 tablespoons fat free mayo
2 tablespoons pickle relish
fine chopped onion

whole wheat crackers about 10 small crackers low fat.

The time that it took is alone not worth it even if that cooking process lowers the fat. I would rather just buy the white meat chicken in a can to make low fat chicken salad.
