Pilgrim's fresh whole fryer chicken, sold by the pound at the Costco warehouse. These are young broiler chickens, typically raised to 7–10 weeks, known for their tender meat and versatile cooking suitability. Each bird is packaged in a sealed plastic bag closed with a Tipper Tie wire clip — the industry-standard metal clip closure that keeps the bag securely sealed and the chicken fresh until purchase.

Whole fryer chickens are ideal for roasting, baking, grilling, spatchcocking, or slow cooking. Because they are sold as a fresh product by random weight, each chicken will vary slightly in size. Pilgrim's is one of the largest chicken producers in the United States, and their fresh whole birds are 100% natural with no added hormones or steroids (as required by federal regulation).
