Yes you can buy a whole chicken at Walmart.

Walmart sells whole chickens including frozen whole chickens, fresh whole chickens and even rotisserie whole chickens.

The brands of whole chickens that Walmart sells are Walmart's Freshness Guaranteed brand, Perdue and Tysons.

For fresh whole chickens look for brands like Perdue and Tyson.

All of Walmart's chicken including pre cut chicken to whole birds chicken is processed.

The processing of Walmart's chicken includes any step, which alters the chicken from it's original and natural state, like cutting, cleaning, and packaging it for sale.

And some Walmart chicken products are also sometimes injected with a solution of salt and other additives to increase the weight and the shelf life of the chicken.

Walmart's chicken goes through basic processing, which is the minimal processing that most people think of, like cutting a whole chicken into thighs, breasts and wings.

Some of Walmart's chicken, like Walmart's rotisserie chicken, is also injected with solutions that contain sugars, salt and other ingredients, which are absorbed into the chicken meat.

And some of Walmart's raw chicken is treated with interventions, like a chlorinated water wash, to help reduce bacteria.

And Walmart's ground turkey and ground chicken products are processed further to be ground down and are also treated with interventions to meet the food safety standards.

If you want Walmart chicken or other chicken that is minimally processed, look for the whole chickens, or simply cut parts of chicken without added solutions.

And be aware that even some seemingly raw chicken breasts have also been processed.

And if you want chicken with no additives, you should consider brands of chicken that advertise the no additives specifically, like some organic or free range options, however these kinds of chicken are often more expensive than other chicken.
