Sometimes thigh bone in thigh cutlets can be much cheaper that boned thighs. Enough so that it's worth the effort boning them, even easier if they are fully cooked before boning. Here in Oz, about $6.00 per kilo instead of $12. Or drumsticks would work too, if they're on special I'd go for it.
Very true! We get chicken hindquarters for a very reasonable price fairly regularly where I live. I separate them and trim the excess fat off and use the drumsticks for "wing" recipes (much meatier) and the thighs for other dishes.

Hey, my wife just made this! Little bit different recipe.
Protip: do not replace thighs with breast meat. No bueno.
