In grocery stores I have never found anything larger than that...which really weirds me out when I think about how they get so many birds to weigh exactly 1.112 kilos or whatever it is. BUT, at our local farmer's market I have found true roasting chickens STARTING at 3 kilos! So maybe there is a street market during the weekends that you can haunt and pick up a real bird. If they don't have anything out be sure to ask; lots of them keep them in the back where they stay cold and fresh. And worst case just order some from a chicken farmer for the upcoming week. We get ourselves a huge turkey every year from a butcher who grows all his own meat. The only other place I've even seen turkeys for sale was Metro at Christmas and you had to call ahead and reserve them. It was a free for all!

It's weird: I can find parts from larger birds, but not a whole large one. What I can’t understand is how you can find a 2 kg whole chicken: I am lucky to find a 1.2 kg one.
