Whole Chicken Order

When I want to purchase a whole chicken for soup or roasting, I usually go to the local meat market. But often times when I ask for whole chicken, he says “mei you” which means “we don’t have any.” I still don’t understand why the market can’t keep whole chickens in stock?? Anyway, my friend and I decided to try and order whole chickens from the local Korean meat market where we purchase ground beef. Once nice benefit is that they deliver to your door. So on Friday, I ordered two whole chickens (one to cook this weekend and one for the freezer). To my utter disappointment, when he came to the door and I looked in the package, I saw two scrawny little chickens which cost me over $7.00. At least they were washed, the insides cleaned out well and ready to cook. Guess I’ll stew both chickens today for chicken noodle soup and hope I get enough meat for a hearty meal.

  1. When my dad owned our grocery store, he received some scrawny chickens like this one time. He put "diapers" on them and sold them as baby chickens. People bought them because of the novelty of it!
