I was just reading the thread about roasting chickens where the OP was talking about a 2 LB chicken which brings up a subject that "ruffles my feathers"!!!!
I can shop at 3 Large Chain stores (grocery) and about 3 or 4 smaller local independant chains. Good luck finding a whole bird under 4 lbs!! They don't exist!! Most are 4 1/2 to 5 lbs for a broiler/fryer!! When advertised, I have seen them up to 6 Lbs!!! It's ridiculous!! I found two birds the other day at 4.20 lbs and was thrilled! When I broke them down, each bird had two hearts!! Anyway, what do you see where you shop???????
