But it seems plausible that broiler chicken was the original term, and this was then shortened to broiler, like house music becoming house. Equinox 15:34, 10 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
I believe the definition is wrong. A "broiler chicken" is not merely a chicken "suitable" for broiling, since just about any chicken can be broiled; rather, broiler chickens are a breed of chicken raised for broiling as opposed to egg-laying or other uses, and as opposed to wild birds. Broiler chickens are biologically different from naturally occurring chickens or chickens raised for other purposes, growing very quickly with oversized legs and other market-friendly features. bd2412 T 16:18, 10 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
