| Husband buys roasted chickens from Wegmans when he's shopping while hungry, and they're better than WF or most other grocery store chickens. Flavor is fine, though texture can be a little too soft from the brining. Otherwise, we buy organic whole chickens and roast them ourselves. It's very easy--just pat it dry, oil, season, and fling it in the oven for an hour. |

| I like the ones at Giant pretty well. Prefer the ones from a local restaurant, but they cost more. |

Alll the places mentioned have antibiotics in the chicken, unless you get an organic one.
Costco will stop selling them by 2017 http://www.triplepundit.com/2015/03/costco-chicken-going-antibiotic-free/ |

| I'm not a fan of the WF ones. I feel like they are dry and bland. I like the Giant ones better. If I am at Costco I am def picking one up too. |

| My husband bought 4 ribeye at Balducci's once and they were about $100. The whole time we were eating dinner I was wishing he had purchased the steaks at Costco which are way better. |

They took it out of a dumpster, relabeled it and sold it. It was many years ago, but I'll never forget it, and I'll never shop there. |

There are many different recipes. I stuff an entire lemon and head of garlic and some other herbs in the cavity, drizzle a tiny amount of olive oil, and add salt and pepper and thyme to the skin and bake at 395 for 90 minutes, checking to see if the skin is burning, and if it is cover with foil. |
