Interesting. Whole chicken here in south Florida at Publix is 7.99. I get the Mojo flavor. It’s a big bird, outstanding flavor, and feeds 3 easily. They run specials often and you can pick up lemon pepper or Mardi Gras flavored for 5.99 when that happens. For dining out, Flannigans lunch specials are the best in town -6.99 for a huge burger, fries and drink or some other combo like a half chicken and fries.
One of my favorite recipes is to take mojo chicken cut up and mix with rice and beans. I use all kinds of rice: white, yellow, Spanish, etc and basic black beans with onions.
We usually get the Lemon Pepper chicken, as it seems that’s all that’s left by the time we get there... Got to try the Mardi Gras once. We also get the SmokeHouse BBQ beans, but apparently, not all Publix’ have that style...
