Chicken Sausage Weekend

[NCPaul]

In the US, chicken wings are immensely popular leading up to the Super Bowl. They sell for twice the price of whole chickens with about half the meat. The main consequence for me is that there is a huge mark down in the price of chicken leg quarters. I'm thinking buffalo chicken sausage and chicken chili verde sausage along with chicken stock. Start planning now.

That sounds like a good plan.

BOOM!

Am I reading that right $0.39 a pound?

Phil

[NCPaul]

Yep, and if Janet gets them tomorrow, we'll get a senior discount as well. The wings on the other hand are $ 2.29 / lb.

I think it equates to £ 0.66 / Kg.

Thanks for the reminder, I need to see what's out there.

A good deal here would be around £2 per kg - three times as much.

This should be coming up soon, a good thing as I am out of chicken stock and have only a few chicken sausages. I have a new recipe I plan to try.

[Swing Swang]

Strikes me as way too cheap, don't get me wrong I'd take the bargain if the meat was ethically sourced, and produced/processed with high animal welfare standards, but at that price you wonder who is being squeezed - my guess is the profucer and not the retailer.

We'll see on Wednesday if the timing and pricing holds true.
