Melissa Milligan Talks About Her Experience at the First Chicken Sale
Many of you have seen the news about the crazy chicken sale traffic from this past weekend, so what was this all about? The signs boasted of 40 lbs of chicken for 40 dollars. Facebook was first to alert me to the sale. It hooked me in and I had to see what this sale was all about. We hemmed and hawed about actually going for several hours. After seeing the traffic on the news, I was for sure not wanting to go. Finally about 2 pm, we decided to jump in that crazy line at the Farmers Market.
We entered the line on Pleasantburg Road about a mile from the light to turn on to Rutherford Road. Several officers were helping with traffic starting at Pleasantburg Road to the Farmers Market. This made the traffic flow a little more smoothly. After waiting in line for about 35-45 minutes (total), we left with 2—40 lb boxes of chicken breasts.
By the time we reached the three-lane barn entrance to receive the chicken they only had breasts and thighs left. We had originally wanted the strips. Each box is 40 lbs as advertised. We did not get out of our vehicle at all. Staff with masks and gloves retrieved our order and placed them in our vehicle. Within each box is freshly cut and processed chicken. Each box contains 4–10 lb plastic bags of breasts. This chicken is fresh, not old and not frozen. The whole chicken breast laid out takes up the size of a large dinner plate.
I got one box home after giving a box away to my in-laws and dropping some off to friends (we were careful to make sure they were social distancing appropriate drop-offs)—I separated the breasts into gallon size Ziploc bags for easier thawing and cooking later. And yes, after securing 80 lbs of chicken and giving some away and separating the rest of the chicken— I broke down and ordered food for dinner instead of cooking. It had been a long day and I know we’ve all been there. Rest assured though the grill will be firing up, the crockpot chicken recipes will be dusted off, and I will be investing in a nice frying pan! Does anyone have a good chicken pot pie recipe?
