Serious question here, as I have NO idea but am curious. How much time, on average (and approximately), passes between the time a chicken is pulled up from the farm to the time it reaches your plate at say an Applebees as a lime-chicken specialty?
My wild guess is three weeks? Really, I have no idea.

I guess it depends on how long it is frozen before it's cooked.

My experience working on the eviscerating line at Tyson Foods can help here. They go from the truck through the eviscerating line same day. We'll say one day from being caught to being cleaned and in the freezer. I can't provide an answer past this point. Anyone else?

One of my Senior projects was to shoot a documentary. I did one on Chicken growers. Back then, in the early '80's it was about 9-12 weeks minimum before it went to the processor. However, with the "better living through chemistry" credo of our food producers nowadays...
