Whole Chickens

Whole Chickens

Cooking a whole chicken can be one of the easiest and tastiest way to eat chicken! You can buy whole chickens in different sizes. Fryers are the smallest, broilers are the next step up. Both of these sizes are common. Roaster chickens are the largest and larger supermarkets should carry them as well. Roasters are usually more expensive so some markets only carry the cheaper, smaller chickens.
