What is the Difference Between --

Question

Split Chicken Leg Quarters and Split Chicken Grillers?

They look like chicken leg and thigh together, not cut.

The same.

Is there a difference except for in price?

Not sure if you can get to it but here is a link -

Answer 1

In my experience, split chicken grillers are thin, split chicken b*****s, and "leg quarters" are leg and thigh together as one piece (never called "split").  The last time I bought chicken grillers, I was disappointed. It looked like someone brand new to the meat department had tried to cut split chicken b*****s, and the pieces that weren't "pretty" were stuck together in packages labeled "split chicken grillers". "Split chicken grillers" are basically chicken b*****s that still have the bones, but they are thinner, which makes them cook more quickly on the grill.

Most "split" chicken is the breast.  Leg quarters are just that: drumstick and thigh still connected at the joint.

Answer 2

I couldn't see the photos, but the split grillers MIGHT be an entire chicken, split in half;  whereas the leg quarters are the legs & thighs....

Answer 3

The ad is not coming up.  However, the Leg Quarters usually include half of the back.  I don't think the grillers do.
