there are many benefits to buying chicken frozen instead of fresh from your local butcher. the biggest reason of all is of course, to save money! a big bag, like the one shown in the middle of the picture at the top of this post, will typically cost you $5.99 at your local aldi (i have proof!). both target and our other local grocery stores offer something similar in their frozen meats section for a dollar or two more, but the quality is about the same. be sure that you pick up the bag that says chicken breast (instead of thighs), as this is the healthiest and tastiest part. i also wouldnt recommend picking up the pre-cooked or pre-spiced varities of frozen chicken as they typically have more fat, strange consistency, and you are better off seasoning them yourself.
