We get dark meat free range chicken thighs from a food delivery service in Baltimore. A bit expensive at $5 per pound, but unbeatably flavorful marinated in curry powder + brown sugar or garlic + red chili paste and grilled (with thai peanut sauce obviously). I don't even get the point of white meat chicken unless it's fried.
Costco sells huge packages of deboned chicken thighs cheap. I use them these days instead of breasts, pan fried in salted butter and rosemary. About $2.50-3.50/lb.
Probably not as good as your free range, but cheaper for a dinner party.
