Those chickens double as a car air freshener.

Suppression of chicken eating to force people to farting cows.

funny you say that. I was in Walmart last week (Sam’s Club right next door) ...I asked the girl at the rotisserie chicken counter in walmart if Walmarts chicken was the same as Sam’s (I assumed it was because owed by same group). She said Sam’s Clubs chicken is larger and better tasting. I had always kind of thought that but thought it was just in my head but she said it to me.

Sam’s and Wal-Market sell rotisserie chicken for $5.

We love’m. Together, the wife and I eat a half chicken two nights in a row....comes out to a buck-twenty-five per meal per person. Darn good chicken too.

But the contracts are a “letdown,” she said. “It’s still far from good enough to justify the kind of investments that farmers have to put into it” because their barns can’t be repurposed for other uses if their operations disappoint.

Sounds like it’s a fail already. .../s

Same goes for the Sam’s rotisserie chicken — all of the Meijer stores, Walmarts, and Family Fare (and some indie groceries) have rotisserie chicken, but by size they look like cornish hens next to the warehouse club versions.

after we eat it, we take the carcass and boil it down so we get an awesome broth for home made chicken noodle soup the next day :)

The Surprising Reason Costco’s Rotisserie Chicken Will Never Cost More Than $4.99
September 10, 2018

My guess though is that Costco’s getting pilloried because of what happened a few years ago:

Why Costco is going Republican — at least at home

I'm not giving CNN a click but I sure do like those rotisserie chickens. Pick them up at the supermarket on the way home from work with one of those packaged salad mixes - BAM, instant meal!

Even the cleanup is painless. Toss the bones back into the foil-lined bag with the dirty napkins, roll it up tight, and toss it into the kitchen trash.

My first rotisserie chicken was back in the mid 1980s at a place called Boston Chicken. This would eventually become Boston Market in the late 1990s and grew into a giant national chain. But when they were just Boston Chickens, in the Boston area, they were quite good. Then they got McDonaldized.

If you check gasbuddy.com, you can often find comparable low gas prices in your area. There are two Chevron stations near me with prices similar to Costco or Sam’s Club, and they are closer.

I’ve considered that. Generally though, I get “down and greasy” and go thru the carcass to get the little morsels of meat to feed the dogs and cat. They love some chicken too! I may just boil the carcass next time. There IS a lot of “flavor” left in them bones.

I buy the $5 chicken at our local Wegmans. Get about 6 meals out of it....and it’s delicious.
