I must say the one I got on Friday at Reading Napier Rd Tesco was actually quite a decent size, bigger than the one I paid full price for a few weeks back anyhow! Enough for sandwiches for lunch and a pasta meal for four people.

We had one of these on Thursday for lunch, dinner and sandwiches the next day, and my OH is a greedy beggar too! Anyway, for £2 its still cheaper than buying a raw small chicken and cooking it yourself, and a whole lot easier. And probably juicier too...

OK it was cheap and not as described but if you Tesco fans are alright with that then so be it.:T

I was happy with the chicken, very juicy and although it looked quite small there was plenty of meat on it. Thanks OP.

Bought one during the week.... smaller than the norm but adequate for 2 salads and the legs and scraps for the dog.

Its no wonder that we might get a hung Parliament.

Bought one in Thirsk on Thursday and was amazed at how small: weighed it after opening at home = 800g!
Bought 2 more this afternoon at York store - weighed them on the Self Checkout scales in store 785g and 810g! Let me guess at worst at 50 % weight loss during cooking - that's about 1.2KG - that's a small in my book.
That means i paid £4 for the equivalent of one reasonable chicken..great offer; net saving is nothing!
If they said "1/2 price cooked chicken £2" that would be fine...no complaints at all. But the use of the word "Large"...Tesco...you're avin a laugh, aincha!!!?

I asked the lady at the hot deli counter if these were the large chickens as advertisted she replied "no these are the chickens on offer at £2" she was clearly embarassed as I would be, what a joke that tesco thinks all it's customers are to stupid to notice !
