If I had to choose....

I would normally pick fresh over frozen no matter what it was. However...the local grocery (Price Chopper-for those in the area) has chicken quarters frozen in ten pound bags for $.39/lb Just thought I would get your take on fresh vs. frozen. I believe the quarters are usually $1.59/lb when fresh. If I can get ten lbs for under $4 I'm thinkin well worth it???

We had a similar deal at a joint here in Chicago last weekend, and I grabbed a bag for a party we had. IMHO they aint terrible, but they aint as good as fresh. Kinda a get what ya pay for deal. But if yer feedin yer inlaws like I was, then what the heck right?

For that price, you have to give that a shot especially since you know how to smoke it up. Good find

We rarely get fresh round here, use the frozen ones alot. Never have any troubles with em.

Grab one and check it out. A few years back we had a place that sold it like that. .29/Lbs. Quarters with rib bones still on it. I think it was rejects, because there were some broken bones and a few small feathers still in the skin. Don't be surprised if that's what you find. If you aren't afraid of a little extra work, it's a great way to save some money. Besides that stuff works great for stock or soups.
