How big is the chicken? According to Tyson a broiler-fryer is between
3 1/2 - 4 pounds. A roaster is 5-8 pounds. I looked at the current
flyers and I see Perdue roasters for .89 a pound. Another place has
leg quarters for .69 and bone in breasts for .79 a pound.

I also see New york strips for 4.99 at a few different places. You
guys really pay a lot for food down there compared to the midwest.
