Sorry, KFC. If you really wanted rotisserie deliciousness you should have bought a rotisserie.
And lowered your prices.

they did... about a decade ago iirc. like all good fast food items it went bye bye. funny thing is it was by far their best tasting chicken.

I don't remember that. I guess they may have just wanted to cash in on the rotisserie craze but didn't want it to cut into their fried chicken business?

Now my supermarket is the best fast food chicken place in town. If only they checked you out as fast as a KFC I'd be in heaven.

Our Krogers is the same way. $5 for a whole chicken. You can't buy a raw one for that cheap. We eat one a week- just have to have the wife make some side dishes and dinner is done when I get home

Bleach? You sure about that one?

that IS the traditional brine... water, sugar, salt and clorox

That's crap. Our Kroger uses fresh Purdue chicken. They buy a large number and get a quanity discount.

FUD

The chickens used here are fresh and not expired or dipped in bleach. That would be a violation of our health acts.

I have actually watched them get the chickens ready for rotisserie and its no different than what you or I would do.

Also the chickens are the same size or bigger than buying an uncooked one and roasting it yourself.

There has to be a catch somewhere...
Why are the cooked Rotisserie chickens the same price(or less than) as the uncooked ones?

Once you include all the flavoring spices they add to it, including baking the chicken for almost an hour in the oven that still doesn't add up.

We buy Rotisserie chicken twice a month.

I throw my chicken in with some Zatarains jambalaya.

I know it may sound crazy, but Wal-Mart has great Rotisserie Chicken (the lemon flavor).

so to wash a stella, perfect pizza down we need to have some s. american chicken cooked or it's not good rotisserie?

It's amazing! For 5 bucks you can get a whole rotisserie chicken that literally falls apart when you pick it up. Moist and flavorful for only 5 bucks. That's the same price you can get one uncooked.
How do they do it?
Its not only about the best deal around, its one of the best meals around.

I LIKE it!

They're about $8 at Publix, but they sure smell and taste darn good. The leftovers make great pot pie or chicken soup.

they don't pay retail. Their costs are less than ours.

I used to get fresh killed really large chickens from my butcher (8lbs and up free range) for about $1.49/lbs.

that's good eats.

For 5 dollars, I'd buy 5 bucks of chicken wings and drumsticks and fry them up. Way more meat.

I don't think chlorine is mentioned in the kashrut.

this is true. I used to work at MArket basket, the most ghetoo of all supermarkets. They do not use past expiration. I also worked at Stop and Shop, but I never saw them cook the chickens . They use sell by today or close or they just use a random on they can get. They make more off those cooked ones...and if they are usually well overcooked.

the tiny 2 lb bird for $5 that they sell at the grocery store as a rotisserie chicken is much more expensive than the fryers and roasters in the case for $0.89/lb.
