I recently went to Kikiriki, a poultry market in Bushwick, and bought a live chicken for dinner. I wanted to answer a burning question: was it cheaper and tastier than a grocery store chicken?

Opened in 1912 at 334 Linden St., Kikiriki is one of a few live poultry places in the neighborhood. I used to live around the corner and sometimes I would walk by and think, “Maybe I’ll try it one day.” Sometimes I would catch a whiff of it on the wind and think, “Maybe I won’t.”

When I was asked if I’d give the experience a spin for Bushwick Daily I thought, “Yea, why not.”
