To cut up chicken or leave whole?

[Happy Helper]

I am sending my roosters to the processer today. They are just about 6 months old. I am wondering if I should leave them whole or have them cut them up. They only charge 50 cents more to cut them up.

Depends on what you're cooking. If you like cooking breast, thighs, wings, and ECT I would have them part them. I use whole and parts. Maybe do a variety of both.

Thanks! I have my first batch in the freezer and they are all cut up. I might tray a couple whole.

Heh, I think it depends on your freezer space. I'd need them cut up, because I have little space. However, if you have a lot of space, you can leave some whole, for roasting.

I got a chest freezer for storing chicken and other meat. It's a great investment when you plan on raising your own meat.
