broiler

Explanation:
A broiler is a type of chicken raised specifically for meat production. Modern commercial broilers, typically known as Cornish crosses or Cornish-Rocks are specially bred for large scale, efficient meat production and grow much faster than egg or traditional dual purpose breeds. They are noted for having very fast growth rates, a high feed conversion ratio, and low levels of activity. Broilers often reach a harvest weight of 4-5 pounds dressed in only five weeks.

Fryer.. Fryer Chicken

Explanation:
What Is a Fryer Chicken?

A fryer chicken is classified by the age and size of the bird. Although its name suggests frying, you can cook a fryer chicken using any method you desire, according to the Food Network.

1. Other Name
Fryer chickens are sometimes called broiler chickens.
Age
A fryer chicken refers to a bird that is between 7 and 13 weeks old.
Size
A fryer chicken weighs between 1 1/2 and 4 lb., according to RecipeTips.com. Typically, a fryer chicken serves three to four people, but you can calculate the exact amount of people the bird serves by allowing 8 oz. of meat for each person.

fryer vs. roasting chicken difference?!?

Technically a fryer is a smaller bird in the 3-5lb range. A roaster can be quite a bit larger, 6-8lbs. Roasters are a little plumper (fattier, I think) which makes them good for long cooking in the oven. You could probably use either one in the recipe. The birds in the grocery stores are on the smaller side indicating fryers.
