What's wrong with serving chicken in pieces with the two sauces 
separately? In my experience, serving a whole chicken requires someone at 
the table to have a good knife, and you end up with a lot of waste as many 
people do not know how to carve. Portioning out the food before it leaves 
the kitchen inhibits both waste and greed, and ensures that everyone at 
the table at least has the opportunity to get a serving of whatever-it-is.
