    If its any help, I think that works out at between 20 and 25 breasts for £23.

    Sounds good to me if you normally get breasts and want them for a barbque or something. Of course, if it's just chicken for meals, whole chicken works out cheaper. HTH.

    I bought 4 packs of 4 chicken breasts (so 16 breasts) from a local farmer for £20 - no added water and massive, nothing like you get in the supermarkets. They were also free range.

    Deff a good price, and local. Prob best to double check they are free range (if you are bothered?) I know people say a whole chicken can work out cheaper but sometimes you do end up just wanting to use the breast meat for certain dishes.
