Three chickens were compared from different stores.
I didn't like the chicken from Whole Foods because it was dry and not juicy.
I liked Safeway's rotisserie chicken because it was delicious and tender.
I like to buy a chicken at the store, but I wanted to find out which was the best.
When you don't want to cook, buying a hot, juicy rotisserie chicken is a great idea because it is cheap and convenient.
I tried three different birds from different stores to see which tasted better.
For the most thorough comparison, I took a sample from the legs, breasts, and thighs.
I started with the largest item on the store's shelves.
Compared to the other birds, the sheer size of this chicken was amazing. It was a steal to get a 3-pound bird from the store.
The best deal out of the bunch is the one offered by Costco.
The affordable chicken is a huge hit with customers and in 2015, the CFO of the company said they were willing to lose up to 40 million dollars a year on the birds.
I wasn't sure if some of the ingredients were legit.
The other chickens I tried had a few recognizable ingredients like salt, pepper, and herbs, but this one didn't list anything I hadn't heard of.
According to Mashed, modified food starch is used for stabilizing and emulsifying, as well as keeping meat moist and fresh.
I found out these birds are injected with a special solution to add flavor, which can explain the presence of those ingredients.
The chicken tasted great.
The meat was seasoned well, even though I was skeptical about the ingredients.
The leg was moist but still good. The thigh of the chicken was very tender and juicy.
The breast was still moist and juicy, but it wasn't as good as it could have been. It was very dense and had a good flavor to it.
Something strange was happening with the skin.
The golden brown exterior of the chicken was delicious, but I noticed that there was a second layer of skin on it. I don't know what it was, but it didn't taste very good.
The layer between the golden-brown layer and the actual meat was off-putting.
The other two chickens were not covered in this layer. This layer of skin made the eating experience less enjoyable and maybe I just got a dud.
The bird was good but not great.
The thigh was moist but also oily and wet. The chicken leaked more juice to the bottom of the container than any other bird.
The price of the chicken is unbeatable. It wasn't the best chicken I have had. I didn't feel like its flavor was natural.
I would eat it again in a pinch.
The Whole Foods chicken was new to me.
There was nothing really appealing about the Whole Foods rotisserie chicken other than it was made with simple ingredients.
It was found in a bag with no juices and it looked bad.
The chicken was made with familiar ingredients.
The Whole Foods bird was raised without antibiotics or hormones and the ingredients were clear.
There weren't many positives about this chicken.
The chicken was dry and the meat was not cooked right. The skin was crisp and the seasoning was good.
I would have expected a better bird.
The chicken tasted like it was good for me, even though it was sad.
I went to Safeway's chicken.
The chicken was really good. It was the best of both stores.
The bird was a manageable size for a rotisserie chicken at under 2 pounds. Chicken was rubbed with salt, paprika, sugar, turmeric, onion and garlic powder, and natural smoke flavor
The meat was delicious.
The meat was very juicy.
The meat was moist and oily. The skin's seasoning was my favorite out of the three chickens, and it tasted great. The slight smokiness and the sweet taste of the meat made me like it.
The dark meat was moist and not stringy, and the thigh was pulled apart like it should.
The breast meat was moist and tender, which I would expect from this part of the chicken.
I liked Safeway's chicken the best.
I'll go to Safeway if I need another chicken. I wrapped the skin around my chicken bites because it was so delicious. It makes sense that I used to eat this chicken.
The meat was tender and moist, unlike some parts of the bird. I was able to identify the ingredients on the list for the Safeway bird.
The dark meat that the chicken should have is dense and tender.
