Here there are mostly whole chickens, for some reason in rural areas
other than skinless/boneless breasts cut up chicken doesn't sell well.
Even the Super Walmarts near here sell mostly whole chicken. Even
though chicken is very inexpensive I don't buy much, if I buy four
roasters a year it's a lot, once I've handled raw poultry I lose my
appetite for it.
