I will buy whole chickens when they are on sale for (sometimes) $.59 a pound. I rub the inside of the chicken with butter, salt and pepper it, cut up celery and onion and place in the cavity and neck opening part. I put it in baking ware dish with a lid. I also add some water, potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion around the chicken and bake it. If I buy a chicken at 4 pounds. I've spent about $2.36. I add vegetables which I would have cooked anyway and you have a meal. I always have leftovers and slice up any remaining chicken for chicken sandwiches for the next days lunch. Cooking at home is more reasonable for us.
