Hello My Baby...
You know, I've cut up hundreds of chickens in my life time
and I never get used to it. The only time I buy a whole chicken when I
want a cut up chicken is when my grocery store doesn't have any. It
appears that when they have a sale on boneless skinless chicken breasts, they
don't feel the need to carry anything other than hundreds of packs of those and
one or two whole chickens. Another thing about my store is I think that they buy
their produce from the second hand store. It's the only way to explain the lack
of quality and selection.
The reason that I hate cutting them up is that by the time
I get that far, I've already given it a personality. Namely, the personality
of Michigan J. Frog
of Warner Brother fame. When I'm at the sink washing the chicken, I have an
overwhelming urge to make it dance and sing "Hello My Baby..". I don't fight it.
More than one person has been embarrassed walking into the kitchen mid-show. I
say, if they can't stand the site of a singing, dancing chicken, stay the heck
out of the kitchen. I make no apologies for these productions. I might even try
to find a hat and make the pageant more entertaining for the unsuspecting audience.
By the time it's on my cutting board, I feel kind of sorry
cutting off that first leg. At least his final show was a huge success, even if
I was the only one to see.

they're really hard to cut!
i remember my son was tweaking about something and i was trying to tear one apart with a respectable knife (can you tell i buy parts? because it's obvious....) and i was just so stressed out and he was all: what are you doing? are you cutting that thing up? what is that???
anyhoo...........
Oh c'mon, my Food Lion has the best looking produce in the world. Ok, maybe not. I agree with Dewitte on the bags of chicken legs. Now every time I go in, I'm going to be thinking about the chicken mafia!
I hate cutting up the chicken too. My sister is a Pampered Chef consultant, and she sells these awesome scissors that cut through the bones in no time, but I have yet to buy them because I am cheap and it's more fun to just rip the chicken apart limb by limb.
Maybe the next time I buy a whole chicken I'll give it the name of Warner Bros Foghorn Leghorn. "Why I-I-I say....I-I say there boy what do ya think your doing to me? When two halves of me is gone there's nuthin' left - and you're right. Two nuthins is nuthin'. That's mathematics son. You can argue with me but you can't argue with figures. Two half nuthins is a whole nuthin."
