Did you know the difference between a whole "Roaster" and a whole "Fryer?"  Probably, but just in case:

As a food, chickens are classified by the age of the bird.

Fryer chickens are 7 to 13 weeks old, while roaster chickens are 3 to 5 months old.

Fryer chickens weigh between 1 1/2 and 4 lbs. Roasters are larger and weigh between 3 1/2 and 7 lbs.

A whole fryer chicken is typically enough food to serve three to four people, and a roaster chicken serves between five and seven people.

The meat of a roaster chicken is typically more flavorful than a fryer.

While roaster meat is tender as well, the meat of the fryer chicken is especially tender.

Both have Value Packs of 80% lean @ 1.99/lb.
