Yeah but the ones here over 3-4 pounds are quite nasty. There's just something wrong with a chicken that big (it's really quite fatty and the meat is no good since the chickens spend most of their time in cages and being force fed during the last part of their lives).

At the 3-4 pound range the bird is quite edible and cooks well without being too spongy as the skin gets crispy (the bigger birds taste like chicken flavored sponge-goo).

These little ones, on the other hand:



(literally fitting in the palm of your hand) are quite tasty and cook well.

I do think the quality of the chicken in Thailand that I've had is far superior in taste and texture to this mutant alien stuff they sell here (for the most part).
