I'm trying to find out the rough unit price or $/kg of the hot food already cooked roasted chickens that coles and woolworths sell
Does anyone know
I tried asking grok and it said about 1.2kg and since they cost $12.50 at Coles that makes them about $10/kg which is not bad for food
So does anyone know their rough weights

It is recommended that adults have no more than 2,000mg of sodium each day.
150g of chicken contains 838.0mg of of sodium or 42% of the recommended max sodium intake. Note, that's less than the average piece of KFC chicken.
Of course, any added salt is not required/good for you if you have a balanced diet, I don't think it's excessive.
@JimB: Sure. It's all fine. High sodium intake (over 2000mg per day) is only a massive risk factor for cardiac events and a huge contributor to the global burden of disease (Global cardiovascular diseases burden attributable to high sodium intake from 1990 to 2019 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10497030/).
But it wont happen to you, I'm sure. Until you're 50 at least. Ages away. Because you're only going to eat just a bit, 10% of the roast chicken per day, right? Otherwise you blow straight through the daily intake. Obviously that'd be the ONLY thing you've eaten with salt for the rest of the day too. But it's ok, you don't think it's excessive. /s

How Heavy Are The Roasted Hot Chickens from Coles and Woolworths
Maybe buy one and weigh it at home?
May just take one that's in the keep-warmer, weight it on the scales they provide for weighting vegetables, and put it back.
I'll do that tuesday.
Only if he can pluck up the courage and can find one that's not trying to cross the road.
I haven't bought a roast chook from WW for a while now, but the last few times I picked up one from Coles the weight ranges between 0.9x-1.2kg.

Oooooooooo! Was deliberating on this last night because of my new lunches of bbq chicken sandwiches.
How does it go vs chicken breast? whos done the good analysis??
The raw breast is cheaper per kg of meat, but makes for very boring sandwiches.
You can't beat a rotisserie chicken for value, considering all the work is done for you, and how delicious it is.
Seasoning's your friend.
Coles has chicken breast @ $7.90kg at the moment.
coles and woolies around the $12.5 mark.
red rooster, frangos and redlea al lare selling close to $20 a pop so straight up coles is a win for me.
They seem to be half the size they used to be, they are so tiny now.
DEFINITIVE ANSWER: 1.28 kg, in the bag.
I went around to Woolworths. Took one off the warmer. And weighed it.
The scales accessible to customers in the fruit and veg area refused to weigh it. Put up a message saying they were only there to weight loose produce. You can't use them to check the weights of other things Woolworths are selling. So I got the deli to weigh it on their scales.
how did the scales refuse?
Do I really have to rephrase what I said in shorter words and sentences so that someone of your reading age can understand?
They've changed out their scales recently (at least between my last Woolies visit and the time before that). I think it has cameras and object recognition.
Buy one and weigh it, problem solved
why don't you weigh it.
Quick heads up for the cook at home peeps:
Cole's has "The Free Ranger Free Range Whole Chicken"
Whole uncooked chicken.
1.3kg - 1.9kg
1/2 price @ $4.50kg
Prices range from $5.85 - $8.55
Never had it before, might be good, might be crap. That's for you to find out.
Seems to be cheapest on Cole's, didn't check anywhere else, but it's a lot cheaper than I can even buy them undressed.
Happy Roasting :)
CRIKEY
Skinless chicken breasts only $7,90 kg too => crazy prices from eight odd years ago! NFI from where those are sourced, not mine, but says RSPCA approved, so sounds legitish => check em out!
Your pricing has so many factors, including convenience, cost of packaging, cost of seasoning, cooking, labour.
The biggest one is that cooked weight is less than raw weight, as you're cooking out a lot of moisture. So for whatever reason you're asking, do note the differences.
For example, 100g of chicken raw could weigh less than 70g cooked, but the calories inside is still the same.
but the calories inside is still the same
Once you cut it, the calories fall out though, so no worries.
Says that on the block of chocolate so it must be true.
Just cut the block of chocolate in half and dont eat the sugar half of the chocolate. Duh.
Cheers for that, never thought of that!
Not the best chickens … it's not healthy to eat hot chicken from a plastic bag.. plastic melts. PLUS chickens are not free range..
Very true I keep forgetting plastics are a factor in all of that.
Really.
It seems like 50% of your recommended daily salt intake to me.
