For four bucks you can buy a whole chicken. Buying them in chunks is
obviously going to be more expensive.

I agree about the boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You really have
to make an effort to get them to taste like much.

I haven't seen a whole chicken for $4 in *years*.

I often make Cornish game hens (which is really not a game hen at all, just
a specially bred mini chicken) and they generally cost $3 but my wife often
buys them on sale, 5 for $10. Larger chickens ("fryers") are commonly $4
here.

Just depends on size. Generally 1.29lb here when not on sale so a 3lb
chicken will be 4$ or under.Now if you want a 6 lb broiler, of course
they cost more in total.

I'm going for the bland. I add my own spices. Either curried chicken
or BBQ chicken, normally. Just good lean protein, the chicken.

Yup and those small 'cornish game hens' are just right for us as we are
lowmeat eaters. Not vegetarian at all but we tend to have leftovers
with a cornish gamehen sized chicken. We eat more veggies at a meal
than most USA folks.

They have their uses. I prefer them for stir-fry.

>I haven't seen a whole chicken for $4 in *years*.

I've seen a whole chicken as cheap as $5.50 recently (I think I have
one in my freezer).

We buy them when they go on sale for $1.99/lb. Roasted whole chicken
is one of my husband's favourite meals.

Quantitative Easing to Infinity has devalued the dollar quite a bit so
yes food prices have gone up. $3.99/lb is still high if it is the low
grade 18% retained "solution" stuff. If it is the decent <3% retained
water stuff that's about the current price I see.

I must be making the right effort because mine tend to turn out nicely.
It is very important to get them just cooked. Overcooking them really
destroys them.

There is a small family run grocery store near here where they used to
sell small chickens fora $4-4.50 They were big enough to cook one and
split it between two people. Over the last two years those little birds
are now closer to $8.

I saw an ad for same advertized things for $2.99/lb, but from a
cheapie ghetto store. I didn't even go look, but I'll BET they were
the saline injected things, which I will not buy.

89¢/lb is very common here for whole oven stuffer/roasters, those
typicaly weigh 6-7 lbs. This entire month the market in town has
skinless boneless chicken breasts on sale at $1.99/lb... I already
bought two large packages and will likely buy more... I like to slice
them into thin cutlets, dredge in seasoned flour and fry them, then
package them for the freezer... they make great sandwiches, cold or
parm.

In the NYC area is a chain of markets that caters to Hispanics;
Compare. They often have a family pack of whole fryers on sale for
49¢/lb... a bag typically weighs 15-20 pounds. For Hispanics grocery
shopping is a family affair, everyone in a household goes at once so
they may fill 5-10 carts to overflowing. I used shop at this location
most every day, I could walk there in under three minutes:

Check out the markets in Latino/Hispanic hoods.
Often Oriental markets also have very low prices on the meats that
those Yoose people eat and orientals eat a lot of chicken.

Looks like possibilities:

Besides, it's worth the trip to check it out because Latinas are hot!

I love investigating ethnic markets, for the unique selection of foods
and wimmins. If you possessed even a remnant of a brain you'd forget
Bwrrryan ever existed. I divorced my first wife in 1978, I've not
spoken a word to her since, in fact last I saw her was for under five
minutes when she brought me back to court on some phoney balogna BS
for less than five minutes in 1981, she lost. You need to forget you
ever knew Bwrrryan... so far you've proven you're far, FAR sicker...
so far all anyone can presume is you enjoy swallowing Bwrrryans semen
too much to let it go.
