Imagine going back in time a century or two and telling people that a roast chicken weighing three pounds costs half an hour’s wages.

Chicken used to be considered a luxury meat. Napoleon’s diet consisted mostly of roast chicken, which was an exorbitant luxury.

It's that, but it's also because those chickens are a loss leader. Meaning that they sell them at either a slim profit margin or at a loss in order to get people in the store and to upsell other things like sides and shit. It's pretty interesting.
