My birds are flexible when they come back from the processor too, I think it must be becasue they do it so quick, and the legs are in a relaxed position before rigor sets in. You can also let the chicken rest a few days in the fridge after thawing too, and flex the leg muscles a bit...
I just cook as normal, they come out fine after cooking
And yes, riggor will wear off after a while in the fridge but I never have that much patience, nice fresh chicken to cook is worse than money burning a hole in my pocket
