ok i buy my chicken in and it has the specs on the bag (protein per oz.). Are these specs taken when the chicken is frozen or when cooked??? i could see why it would make more sense to weigh it frozen because everybody cooks their chikcen different so the degree of water evapouration would be different. But none the less how is this bagged chicken weighed???
I would guess thawed... before they freeze it?
so when it's frozen it would basically weigh around the same amount when it's thawed right???Quote:
