Most of the chicken eaten in Hawaii is thighs served as chicken katsu.
It's quite amazing how popular chicken katsu is. The Asians prefer
chicken thighs. Chicken breast is cheaper to buy than thighs in Japan. I
won't speculate on the reasons why that is. Beats me what the Chinese do
with all the surplus chicken breasts - ship it off to America?

Chicken prices vary from one region to another and different parts sell
for different prices depending on demand. We have seen from discussions
here that most people seem to prefer white meat. I used to find that
chicken thighs were a lot cheaper than breasts. Let's face it. The
Chinese have a reputation for being frugal so maybe their penchant for
using dark meat has to do with the cost.

I don't know the price of chicken in China. It's a popular meat and
second only to pork. The Chinese also like to eat chicken feet.
Hopefully, that's really cheap. Americans would probably like the
chicken situation in Japan where breasts and wings are not popular and
cheap - especially in Buffalo, New York.
I know that Americans love chicken breast and that it's sold at a
premium in the US. Chicken thigh are mostly eaten here because fried
chicken is mostly thigh. I don't recall ever seeing fried chicken breast
in restaurants. The only time I eat breast is when I buy a Costco
rotisserie chicken. Here's a plate of items bought from Costco. It
builds healthy bodies 12 different ways.
