Poultry

Whole

Whole chicken is the complete bird for roasting, poaching, spatchcocking, or breaking down at home. Quality depends on breed, age, and rearing—skin should be intact and flesh springy. Season the cavity and skin, roast to safe doneness with resting time, or joint into parts. Homemade stock from the carcass completes the value of buying whole.
