Considering the huge breasts the chicken had I'm sure it couldn't fly.

I bought another. The white meat is a bit dry. And I was a little wrong on
the price comparison. This one, net of the plastic container, was 39.9
ounces. The base price before tax was $8.99. The steam table chicken I
believe is $9.49/lb before tax. I'll assume the tare on the steam table
food is the cardboard container. So for $8.99 you get 15.16 oz. 39.9
divided by 15.16 means I got 2.63 times the chicken for my money.
