Raw. And then they’ll cook it. Which means you (and maybe your kids) don’t have to wait to get home and cook it, plus you save on whatever fuels your stove. This must be the kind of store that also sells raw ingredients as well as cooked. If they have the grill or fryer hot already, it’s not a big loss for them, and you’ll probably also buy milk or whatever, but it’s still a big kindness.
They wouldn’t be able to accept EBT if that was the case.
I worked at a place that accepted EBT for a while. They removed the store’s approval because they didn’t sell enough milk, bread, eggs, cold meats, and butter.
We only had around 1 or 2 EBT sales a month, so not a lot of people were terribly bummed about it.
I don’t know how you can tell from the image? My local grocery store has a sign over the fish section offering to fry up your freshly purchased fish for free. I assume it’s done over in the hot foods area’s kitchen, but the sign is over the raw fish case. (There’s no mention of EBT though.)
Around here, the grocery stores usually have a deli section that also cooks and sells ready-to-eat food, including fried chicken and chicken tenders. I suspect something like that is where this sign was seen
Well if it is a fried chicken shop, they get “extra credit,” because it’s more work for them to redeem the EBT credits, whereas a grocery store already has that set up.

Or if you are unhoused, or live in car and can’t cook.
yes but those aren’t people according to the government.
I think they don’t otherwise sell raw ingredients

I can’t tell, I just get fried chicken shop vibes
