If you buy chicken segments instead of an entire chicken, you're either retarded, lazy, or both. It's cheaper, fresher, and superior.

>hearts grilled on a skewer
>liver and onions
>midsection bones boiled and made into stock, pull the excess meat off the bones
Or you can just roast the entire chicken. Find a flaw.

I don't know what to tell you. There's a weird situation where stores will sell whole chickens for almost double the price per pound of a pack of thighs. You might get more meat depending on the chicken you buy, but you still have to break down the chicken with a knife. Chicken galantine is worth buying a whole chicken for and is one of my favorite dishes from Pepin but if I'm making just a simple stew it's gotta be a pack of thighs or legs.

Two fryers in bags for about 12CAD here

So about 9 bucks. Fryers are between 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 pounds so best case scenario you're getting 1.00 a pound or about 1.80 a pound worst case which isn't bad at all. Here it's pretty much 2 dollars minimum a pound for whole chickens while thighs or legs are about a dollar a pound.

If I was in Canada I'd probably get more whole birds and do roasts with them more often.

It's called a freezer, save the giblets in it and once you're up to 5 bags cook the hearts and livers. What you think a single chicken organ even qualifies as a snack?

Based, i allways buy my chicken whole, i allways roast it in the oven, and end up doing another dish with the leftovers another day, breast cooked on the bone allways comes up more juicy and suculent than a pan fried breast of chicken, literally no flaw whatsoever

my grocery store was selling whole chickens for like $3 and some change for a long time. it was cheaper to buy two entire chickens than it was to buy a nice six pack

My store takes $7,16 for a 1,2kg mass produced whole chicken.
$4,62 when on sale.

Whole chicken cost the same as segments if you do the math.

Whole chickens are great if you're doing a whole chicken, but dark meat is objectively superior, so if I'm doing anything where I would have broken the chicken down, I'll often opt for a bag of leg quarters as it's the exact same price per lb.
