Costco Rotisserie Chicken or not?

I think it's the brine process that makes it so juicy, but I agree YUM.. I was surprised of the amount of salt.  Since I am so far out I thought no biggie but again just wondered if everyone else enjoys it as much as I do.

I think the sodium and sugar listed would make Costco rotisserie chicken a hit with just about anybody anywhere.  I also think we live in a world of GOOD, BETTER, and BEST choices.  A GOOD choice would be a dense protein like your Costco chicken.  A BETTER choice would be baking an un-seasoned chicken, A BEST choice would be raising your own free-range organic-fed chicken.  Last thought:  most of us choose GOOD even though we probably have the resources to choose BETTER.  I bow to those that choose BEST.  

I never thought of raising my own chickens.  But I do grow veggies and love that I know exactly what are on them or should I say not on them.

There is a difference between store purchased chickens and home grown. 

I put up 14 red broilers a month ago after raising them for 12 weeks.  They dressed out at 7-9lbs each.  Free ranged on a small pasture, with some corn.  Nice big birds with tender meat.  I also get 2 dozen fresh eggs every day.  Love raising my own animals and hope to get a bigger farm in a couple of years to get some beef cows and pigs. 

You have my admiration    I would not be able to kill anything I fed and raised LOL

The first one gets me every time, but then I remember why I raised them.  If you all knew about commercial processing for chickens no one would eat them anymore. 

You might remember I have chickens and that's why I bow to you like Kathy does.  The chickens sit under the window of my computer desk, follow me around the yard, and have been live, lawn decorations too fun to do in.  (Well, indirectly they'll be done in by neighbors willing to take them off our hands).  The chickens make multiple laps around the perimeter of the house each day thinking if the chickens and I traded places, I'd be at goal by now. 

UMMM...NOPE!

When I was 18, I lived on a wanna be farm. The lady of the house got it into her head to buy 100 chicks, raise them and then slaughter them. I ate nothing but chicken for the next 6 months - and the memories of the slaughter... ugh. I didn't eat chicken for almost 5 years after that.

I prefer my meat to be fully processed and come packaged in plastic and styrofoam, thank you

Costco chicken just tastes...weird. Can't explain it.  And extremely salty.  I have a hard enough time getting enough water in my body as is.

Yes, I was surprised at the amount of salt....
