I'm sure that most stores prep their own. There *may* be a source
for pre-prepared chickens, but I couldn't find any doing a quick
search of some likely commercial food suppliers. I didn't look hard.

I did find lots of places selling rubs for making rotisserie chicken,
so I suspect most places just buy large quatities of fryers and
apply a rub.
