My local store has frozen stew chicken for sale at 99 cents per pound. Both
roasting chicken and frying chicken are the same price. It would seem as if
the stew chicken would not be worth it since I have heard they are egg
layers who are over the hill. What would be best making soup or a gravy?

Thanks

Tom

Go for the stew chicken. An old egg layer will not have the tender meat you
need for frying or baking, but it will have better flavor and will be
perfectly tender if stewed properly. I wish I could get them here.
