You can expect about 67% yield from whole chickens. General rule is 65-70.

Fish is terrible. My dad doesn't try and only gets about 27%. I don't approve of that. My best was 42%, but that wasn't my average.

lol, i must be turrible at this, but I wound up with barely 2 lbs., instead of the expected 3 lbs. I looked in the reject pile, and there was honestly nothing left worth adding. Maybe there was a lot of injected Mystery Poultry Juice. (And I did remove the skin after cooking.)

BUT I wound up with a little over 5 c. of meat, so an easy-to-remember 1+ cup per pound. I bagged up 3 c. for the enchiladas, and the 2+ c. remaining was plenty for the soup. Thanks again.

They like leaving excess skin now and the chickens are somewhat fatter than I like. At least the ones at Kroger's are.

Did you weigh it or go by the sticker? I mean, 65/70 is a base but 44% is suspect.

And yeah, my concern with the parrot is who tf is it.

Good point, I didn’t weigh it! I usually do.

Also, next time I buy a whole chicken, I will weigh it before unwrapping and then after all the chicken juice drains out.

— the Tyson chicken packages at the store actually squished when I picked them up. No wonder they were cheapest per pound.
