Net weight of meat on a chicken?

compmad1 · 2009-04-14 18:42:13

There is a lot of bone and skin on a chicken. What proportion of a whole chicken is actual meat? I would guess it is about 50%. Has anyone roughly worked this out? Also I think you get more proportionately more meat on a large chicken than on a small one. Does anyone agree with me?

A possible additional factor is that the one I picked didn't contain giblets or other bits, so that wouldn't have been included in the start weight of the bird. Don't know if the Sainsburys chicken's start weight would have included this?

No my chicken did not have giblets.
