which supermarket has the best roasted whole chicken?

[hirevtuner]

my opinion is costco, then walmart

[Meowjin]

Whenever I'm in Superstore I always see chinese people buying the disgusting roast chicken at really expensive prices. But they can't tell the difference between good and bad chicken. So I laugh.

Anyone wanna fight about this?

[bcrdukes]

In terms of dollar for dollar value, Costco has the best store-bought roasted chicken.

Anyone wanna fight about this?

WTF?

[J____]

also in terms of taste, Costco has the best one by far. Juicy and tasty! dirt cheap too!

[hal0g0dv2]

costco, 4 sure

[Kim Jong Un]

+10312701923917203 for Costco.

[orange7]

but don't we need to have a costco membership to buy chicken there?


I usually just go to superstore and get the chicken combo deal. It's enough to feed me lunch and dinner. :rofl:
I just need to cook a little pasta or rice to go with it.

I vote costco

[eurochevy]

costco takes it for sure

[tiger_handheld]

safeway . juicy, meaty, and fresh.

you can make it a meal by adding a baguette and coleslaw.. mmmm.

[TheSalesman]

urban fare

[donjalapeno]

not a bad business idea actually.....you can sell by portions and different varietys like cajun rub roasted chicken or teriyaki rub roasted chicken and just normal seasoned ones....like a fast food style swiss chalet with homemade baquettes and gravy made from the chicken drippings AND some good fuckin salad and fries. Dam only if i had 300+gs. But yeah i usually go to save on foods, and get 2 breaded wings to munch on my way home :)

[Senna4ever]

Whole Foods, Costco.

[dinamix]

fred meyer in the states. they cut it up for you too. 6.99

[BaoXu]

I have eaten costco's roasted chicken the most. Yeah it's juicy, but it also kinda tastes buttery...not smokey enough for me.

but don't we need to have a costco membership to buy chicken there?

Try smoked chicken then, not roast chicken.

[hamsup]

I think superstore isn't too bad.... i bought one awhile back... but maybe it was good b/c i saw them putting it out on the tray and they were fresh ??

[Vansterdam]

i go with superstore cuz its closest lol

does walmart have a combo deal thing with their chicken?

[Liquid_o2]

I used to eat Safeway's all the time when I was younger. I remember it was sooooo good, especially with some potato salad and some garlic bread on the side. :thumbsup:

[saveth]

I don't know if it's just the Safeway in my area but their chicken looks like it was boiled and roasted for 5 minutes because the skin still looks white. My vote goes to Costco and superstore a close second followed by save on foods.

Wal-Mart has different flavours for their roasted chicken...

And when you go after 9pm, if there's still some left, it's discounted to like $5 I think it was...

[Meowjin]

The refinery on granville and nelson apparently. No wait not the refinery its next to chop shop. Forgot the name. a coworker goes there. It's 10 dollars though.

[unit]

u can always roast it yourself
6-7 bucks for a cheap fryer, or on the other end, 15 bucks for a 3-4lb organic bird that makes leftovers for days.

roasting a chicken is one of the easiest things you can do for the amount of reward at the end. cutting the bird after takes a lil practice tho

Yep.

The biggest problem I have with the store bought chicken is that they usually use the shit-grade chicken and go overboard on the amount of salt they use (no doubt to cover up the shitty grade of chicken).

I just did a 5lb bird on the rotisserie yesterday, and I'm going to make a roast chicken pasta with the left overs tomorrow.

[fliptuner]

Convenience.

Anyone can roast a bird but not many people have the time to do it - especially during the week.

[Senna4ever]

^^^^ I guess my invite got lost in the mail....

[dmm]

fred meyer in the states. they cut it up for you too. 6.99

Costco in the states, only $4.99 for a whole chicken!

[fliptuner]

WHAAA??

[hirevtuner]

Costco in the states, only $4.99 for a whole chicken!

are you allowed to bring back chicken? i know that crossing the border you can't bring back fruits/veggie/uncooked meat

of so, i'll bring it back everytime i make a border run

[unit]

true, but just want to point out that it only takes an hour to cook a 3-4lb bird.
and damn! the crispy skin you get at home just cant be bought anywhere

[CorneringArtist]

I think only uncooked BEEF was illegal to bring across the border. I've brought uncooked chicken breasts and eggs back from the States nearly every time I go since it's cheaper down there.

+1 on Fred Meyer's chicken. SO good!

[Culverin]

iirc, beef is legal to bring back, at least from point roberts.
There's this little paper they got posted up in the grocery store meat section.

Also, we brought back a turkey during thanksgiving.
mmmmms, turkey!

[bcrdukes]

My parents always bring beef back in to Canada even after a daytrip in Seattle.

Just don't bring beef IN to the US. :D

[dmm]

I bring back meat into Canada all the time. Mostly uncooked, but the price of the Costco bird is hard to beat.

You are allowed to bring back 20kg of meat per person.

Within this limit,
•a maximum of one whole turkey or 10 kilograms of turkey products;
•a maximum of 10 kilograms of chicken; and
•a maximum of 5 kilograms of edible meats and meat products from cattle, sheep, goat bison and buffalo

Products should be from US origin.

Cheese, milk and eggs are cheap in the US ... gas too!

[jmvdesign]

The roasted chicken from Costco stateside are 25-30% bigger compared to the roasted chickens here. They're a mutant compared to the regular ones.

costco roasted chicken ftw

OMG, you actually cut it?

I can't resist and just CHOW DOWN on the chicken.

Aside from the taste of these things, anyone know if they are actually healthy?

If you remove the skin and only eat the meat, maybe...

[unit]

the skin might have high sodium but you're only supposed to eat maybe half a small chicken at most in a normal serving (probably more like a third or a quarter).
keep your portions reasonable and i'd say its pretty healthy

[hirevtuner]

+1 for chicken skin

[fliptuner]

As unit posted, most of the bad stuff is in the skin but in all reality, how can you NOT eat the skin??? It's just one of life's guilty pleasures.

are you obese or have high blood pressure? do you drive your car to cross the street or sit in a golf cart to shop @ walmart? if not, you should be ok with the chicken.

[ae101]

superstore is actually the best since i use to work in that department & i realize that not a lot of places would do a season the inside of the chicken as well & serious the combo deal, u can't fight it

My mom always brings back some $5 chicken from costco in the states, safeway's chicken isn't bad haven't really tried superstore

[waddy41]

I would just do my own...at least i know what goes on/in it...

All you have to do is pre heat oven...put the chicken in...take it out after an hour-ish and DEVOUR

[Culverin]

Costco = juiciest
Superstore is a little behind.
Safeway chicken is... low tier.

Reason I go to superstore is for their meal deal.
chicken + sides (i get potato salad and coleslaw) + baguette. It's like $10 or $11? For 1 person, you can have a chicken meal, and have enough meat left over to "upgrade" cream of mushroom canned soup as and then do up some lazy stirfry as well.

Weak bachelor cooking for the lose?
Not quite.

Save the bones into your scraps bucket.
And then eventually slow cook some stock from scratch.
So yeah, for the win.
