I was erring on the side of conservative pricing. It's been a while since I
bought a whole chicken. I did buy a cut up chicken when I made chicken &
dumplings a month or so ago; it was $5 and change. Oh, and Mom had us pick
up a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store for dinner back in June; that
was only $5.

It's been years since I bought KFC. That little store back home makes
better fried chicken than they do
