sorted byBones in whole chicken = 20% - 25% depending on size of fowl. Since most sell for around £2.50-£3/kg, that's increased the usesable meat price to between £3.10-£3.75/kg max.
So, whole chicken is cheaper, and the weight of processed stuff is "drastically" inflated by the processing.
Whole chicken then, is between half + a quarter of the cost of the ultra-processed frozen rubbish (selling for £6/kg to £12/kg, even when on 'offer')
Takes longer to cook whole chicken, but you can freeze/chill leftovers for microwave meals on subsequent days.
Also, whole = fewer additives, and - aside from water (which everything has now) - it has none of the other padding: up to 65% of the weight of ultra-processed foods is often batter/crumb coating/flour etc.
And most importantly, whole chicken is mainly meat you would CHOOSE to eat once you find out what it is: real chicken breast/leg/thigh meat.
Ultra-processed meat is padded-out with rough UNLIKELY TO BE CHOSEN stuff: mechanically-separated sludge meat + connective tissue + organs mixed with chem's like emulsifiers + preservatives. (edited)
