It depends. There are whole fryers, whole roasters. The main differences are in size, with the fryers smaller, the roasters normally in the 6 -8 pound range. These often are "plumper" birds, specifically bred for roasting and the longer cooking times required.
Depending on the type, there are countless recipes.
Whole fryers are cheaper than butchered birds sold as complete, or as specifically labeled breasts, quarters, halfs, etc.
Countless fool proof recipes available on-line. Depends what you want to do and how much prep & cooking time you want to spend.
