    Is it worth it to buy raw whole chickens these days vs buying a pre cooked chook?

      Yes.

      I guess some people prefer their own flavour/seasoning.

        I might be imagining things but these chooks always seem to be much tastier when roasted (and bigger) as compared to your average bulk-roasted chook. But then the economics of having bought an expensive Miele oven to bake my $4 chooks probably doesn't stack up.

      Slather it in mustard then sprinkle bread crumbs all over it. Dijon or whole grain.

      Nothing wrong with a cheeky bachelors handbag from ColesWorth but roasting your own chicken is delicious and far less oily. I season with salt and pepper, rub in butter, microwave a whole lemon for 20 seconds and then prick all over and put inside the chicken cavity (for delicious extra juicy lemon flavour). Roast in the Weber Q for just over an hour (it’s surprisingly quick) until the meat is 75 degrees. Rest and serve with mash and greens. Freeze the carcass to make a chicken stock when ready.

      Home cooked chook FTW. Less than half the price if you shop around. Even the smallest raw chicken (under $5 when on special) has more meat than the stringy and often dried out Colesworth garbage and tastes much better.

      Super easy to cook, all you really need is a little salt and still tastes miles better to the ultra marinated, sugar infused, steamed in a plastic bag crap the supermarkets try to pass off as actual roast chicken.

      If you are talking about purely from monetary perspective, it's actually arguable. Electricity price has gone up, and time spend to prepare and clean, not to mention waiting, if you are already hungry. Professional oven cleaning is over $70 as an add-on where I live too. Maybe an airfryer would make it cheaper, but then you have to pay for an airfryer.

    • Lucy007 on 02/08/2023 - 19:56

      Yes, and cheaper. I stick them in the air fryer… 30m per 500g.

      • Mistyxo on 02/08/2023 - 13:48

        their drumsticks in the packet has a bad smell. Does the whole chicken have the same smell?

        • Thrifty Dan on 02/08/2023 - 13:57

          My in-laws buy kilos of those drumsticks at Aldi for their dogs. They really smell. I wouldn’t give that even to my dog.

        • Yola on 02/08/2023 - 14:21

          Yes, I find all Aldi chicken, no matter the expiry date, smells. I never buy it there. No problems with meat.

      All raw chicken smell , to get rid of any smell soak the raw chicken for 2-3 minutes in diluted vinegar water (ratio 1:100) and rinse.

    Back to pre-inflation price!!! Didn't think this is a possibility.

      Aldi chicken doesn't appear to be pumped with (as much) brine so it's better value per kg.

      I'm not saying it doesn't have any because I'm not sure, however I've cooked a lot of chicken over the years and there is definitely less juice in the tray after cooking Aldi chicken.

      Steggles chicken is garbage.. the nicest ones are either aldi freerange, or woolies macro organic.. both can be had at $5 a kg if you keep an eye open but I buy em at any price.

      • wisdomtooth on 03/08/2023 - 10:33

        How clean are these (ALDI + Woolies)? Are Aldi's true free-range? Are Woolies' organic caged? Any biodynamic/regenerative?

        • Lucy007 on 03/08/2023 - 12:33

          Well, they have 2 types.. factory farmed, which are on special atm, and which sometimes I buy, and then a free range type, which I also buy but as to what constitutes 'free range' I have no idea at all, could be next to nothing for all I know.

          As for clean, what do you mean? Salmonella and chicken go hand in hand but is destroyed by cooking.. they smell fine to me, but all plastic wrapped vacuumed meat can have a weird smell at times.

          • wisdomtooth on 03/08/2023 - 22:43

            @Lucy007: Clean from chemicals, pesticides, GMO grains, vaccines, etc (i.e. most 'natural', sorta).

            factory farmed, which are on special atm, and which sometimes I buy

            I wouldn't touch that even with a 10ft pole.
