| Best grocery store rotisserie chicken
So i've been eating a lot of rotisserie chicken lately.
I buy a whole chicken, peal off the skin and get 2 meals out of it. half chicken per meal
at $7-9/chicken its inexpensive and relatively healthy (when u dont eat the skin).
so now I am curious as to who has the best rotisserie chicken.
So far, between Save On foods and safeway, i'm going to have to go with Save Ons.
I have yet to try Super stores or Costcos.
I heard costcos is the best...not is it because of the seasoning? or the actual flesh of the bird, since I don't eat the skin, the seasoning does not affect the taste for me too much.
interested to hear you guy's thoughts on this.

Ooooooh, I'm a sucker for Save-On's rotisserie chicken. My parents often buy the one from Costco. I don't like it as much but hey, it's cheap.
Not a huge fan of Superstore's. I haven't had Safeway's in ages.

Price smart is the worst.
I'd say Costco > superstore > Safeway.
Costco is just the juiciest.. And I never notice any seasoning that stands out.

Safeways chicken looks and tastes like boiled chicken. Costco and save on are my 2 favorite with Costco getting the edge because it's really moist like it was brined

costco the best for sure. Every time I head down to the states I always pick up a couple on the way back. It's only 5 bucks down there too!

yeah, price smart is tricky. At times, I've really enjoyed their rosemary lemon chicken. But they often suck at cooking them or leave them to dry.
Safeway sucks.
Superstore sucks.
Costco get's my vote as well

Costco on Stillcreek got new roasting machines in the past month or so, I would say that the chickens are crispier. We buy them once every few weeks. Quick and easy dinner.

Costco cause they are the largest and cheapest ($7.49 ea). I believe the meat is brined, so the breast stays moist.

do they add anything to the chicken, or is it just a plain chicken being cooked in it's juices?

Has anyone compared the Canada Costco to the US Costco yet? I've eaten the one from Bellingham a shit load of times and it's really good. Have yet to buy one here yet.

Handsdown Costco FTW
I tried both Can vs USA Costco
For Can
- Their chicken is brinned - it's what gives each piece of the meat juice and all portion is well seasoned.
- Chicken is about $7.99 I think?
- Pretty sure they use Canadian Birds
For USA (tried Bellingham)
- Their chicken is not brinned as well
- Chicken is about 4.99 or 5.99 I forget
- They use USA birds I think.
- By far the meatiest
For some reason I like the Canadian one's the most

US chicken in general is often bigger/meatier as they are caged and not as active as Canadian chickens, which are all free-run.
