Last week I posted on my chicken disaster. As I remember each of those birds were about $7 each. A four pound chicken at 1.69 a pound is $6.76. At 1.19 a pound it is $4.76. Does that still make it worth the effort to cook and clean up afterwards?
If you burn the chickens as I did last time it surely does not. Last week a whole chicken cut up was also $1.69 a pound. An easy way to go if you are going to fry it or put it on the grill. I will check the new price later this week.
The rotisserie chickens I bake at the store sell for $7.39. As there has yet to be a price change. You can still use what is left to make stock. Nothing to clean up.
It is yet to be seen where the price of chicken is going to go. With the producers having to have kill 40 million birds since the beginning of the year with bird flu. Predictions say eggs and chicken meat will rise in price substantially.
I believe that chicken is consumed all over the world. Chicken has been the least expensive whole meat. It can be prepared in many different ways. Healthy and not so healthy.
Chicken can be fried, baked, boiled or any combination. You can make greasy fried chicken or not so greasy. The key to not so greasy chicken is to not over bread it. The breading holds a lot of grease. Fry it for at least 14 minutes in hot oil. Then let it sit on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes or paper towels on a cookie sheet. It will drain off most of the grease.
