What is Whole Chicken?
A whole chicken includes all major cuts except the giblets, giving you more recipe options than buying a single cut. Whole chickens can be cooked in many ways, including smoking, deep-frying, and grilling. Different seasonings and marinades add extra flavor. You can choose a quartered whole chicken, which includes two breast quarters and two leg quarters, or an eight-piece whole chicken.
The biggest advantage of a whole chicken is minimizing food waste while maximizing value. Use the carcass to make rich chicken stock, add leftover pieces to soups or noodles, or shred remaining meat for dishes like chicken pot pie, enchiladas, or chili.
