A medieval peasant on a celebration day. I doubt they could eat a whole as chicken every day
Depends on which era honestly. The medieval period lasted for nearly a thousand years and could vary about as much as one would expect, so for example a very well off peasant during the high medieval period maybe could have eaten a whole ass chicken for a while at least. Probably wouldn't have though, at least not without turning it into soup or a sandwich equivalent.
Yeah communally like a couple times a year if lucky and most likely spent hens or cockrels not this monstrosity of a broiler meat bred bird.
Reminds me of a pretty recent game called Pentiment that's like an old school point and click adventure about a murder in a middle age German Abby where a bunch of conversations happen over meals & who you eat with can have an effect on a bunch if stuff in the game. it was pretty cool to include and I'm guessing they tried to go for some accuracy considering how much detail they use on the foods.
Pentiment is so good
The person for sure needs to learn how to cook
You're going to be constipated
Can confirm this will happen if you eat nothing but rotisserie chickens every day five days in a row
Ummmm…. story time?

A vegetable wouldn't hurt you.
Stop it, you're killing him!
It would if it fell on your head. Checkmate atheists.
Is wheat not a vegetable?
Wheat grain is strictly a vegetable, being an edible plant part. But people usually use the word to refer to a socially-constructed category which is completely feels-based. Membership tends to be determined by flavor profile, nutrition content, and whether the given part falls into another popular sub-category (such as fruit or nuts). This is why fruits like the tomato and pumpkin are usually sorted as vegetables separately from fruits with generally sweeter flavors like the banana or orange.
Vegetables like grains, legumes, and certain tubers will often be grouped together as "carbs" due to their high carbohydrate content which distinguishes them from low-calorie, high-fiber vegetables like spinach or broccoli.

Would a medieval peasant have access to that much meat?
King Richard I was once captured for ransom while traveling undercover trough Austria.
His cover was blown specifically because he tried ordering a roast chicken.
There are a few variations of the details in this story though, a peasant could definitely have owned a chicken and eaten it when it died but it was probably way more valuable to sell it.
Doubtful, most common meal for peasants would have been a sort of stew of vegetables and oats called pottage.
A whole chicken would have been prohibitively expensive either to purchase or in lost money from sale at market, same for pork or beef.
Fish though would be plentiful and cheap and a valuable source of protein. Oysters were considered peasant food until pretty much the 20th century.
Wheat bread similarly would have been a rare luxury, especially made from refined white flour, rye and buckwheat, roughly ground would be far more common.
I read this comment in Max Miller's voice and it definitely enhanced it
Oysters were so common that they were incredibly cheap, but they were not considered peasant food. They were enjoyed among the different classes.
Yes, they had chickens back then.
"The tall, skinny ones are confused, Brother..."
They'd have access, but you're not wrong, a peasant probably isn't going to waste that much on a single meal.

Medieval peasant? Toss that sucker in a pot with some water. For the rest of eternity.
Sweet, sweet perpetual stew.

No utensils required
Fun fact: the fork wasn't ubiquitous across Europe until the 1700s.
