Chicken Airline Breasts?

I was at CostCo yesterday and noticed a 4-pack of some prepared
entree called "Airline Chicken Breasts". They looked like a
breast with a leg attached to it from the picture. Looking it up
on the web it appears to be the wing joint.

I'd never heard of this term before (and I've heard of
EVERYTHING) but apparently they were a seldom-known cut of
chicken in the 60's and 70's.

Are these coming back in style, or is this just a lone marketer
trying to pass off wing bones as part of the gross weight?
Anybody else ever heard of them, let alone seen them for sale
recently?

In any case, I don't think it's very good marketing - associating
your products with airline food [of the past]. Please - make it
go away.

I'd love to know the manufacturer's name, if you remember to check next time
you're there. It might be amusing to read their web site and see how they
justify this product.

I'd like to know the name too. I've never heard of "airline chicken
breast", but they sound unpleasant. I haven't had airline food for
many years, but I recall it as being pretty nasty...

I searched for it online before I posted but couldn't
come up with the name. They're 4 "airline breasts", stuffed with
something, IIRC. The picture on the front of the box showed them
sliced with something inside, or else they were on top of
something else.

Those are good for making stuffed chicken breasts.

I should also note that the ingredients also listed "Airline
Chicken Breasts" as the first ingredient. Not just "Chicken".
Like they were trying to stress the fact that it was airline
food.

What makes them better than non-airline breasts for stuffing?

Airline and airport food is even worse than mall food.
They might as well call themselves "Topps".

A couple of years ago, I was in a restaurant in a national park and
they had airline breasts. (They might have been called airplane
breasts, I'm not sure.) I too hadn't heard of it and asked. IIRC,
they said it was just a breast with the wing attached. And since it
had a wing, it was called an airline breast. (Wing, airplane,
airline. I get it, but it's not good or funny.) So as far as I know,
it's not a type of food, just a cut of chicken, so to speak.

No, it's not how I'd market food either.

Then I'm glad I've been missing it. I've taken a few plane trips to
California over the past few years, but they are short flights with no
food service. Just drinks and some really tasty pretzel type things...

I haven't heard the term airline chicken either; that name would
definitely be a sales turn-off here :-)But the cut is well known here in
the UK, called a chicken quarter; you can buy them raw in supermarkets,
usually near the packets of battery-farmed chicken thighs and
drumsticks, aimed at cheap mass catering.

You're most likely to eat one served as "chicken in a basket" bar food;
the wing is meant to make it look like a bigger more impressive portion
than it is. Really cheap and nasty chicken quarters, look bigger
because they still have the rib cage as well as the wing attached to the
breast :-(

The bone gives the fillet' more support, and it can be "decorated" with
a frill tip.

I've seen commercial Cordon Bleu prepared that way more than once. I've
been considering learning how to debone a chicken breast that way,
leaving the drumette in place.
