So THAT'S what 132 chickens look like
12 January 2008

I'm all done with those chickens. My walk-in freezer is filled with 22 sheet pans of chicken parts, and 11 hotel pans with chicken bones. That's a lot of chicken!

132 birds, yielding 264 breasts and leg-thigh combos. Two days of work, just under four hours of production. On average, each case of 12 birds took about 22 minutes, which includes set up time, wrapping, storage, etc. After set up, just straight fabrication of a case took 14 minutes. That's probably a personal best of 70 seconds per chicken. 70 seconds, sustained over 132 birds. I can't believe it!
