> Confession; I HAVE made a special stop for a rotiss chicken when I've been unexpectedly tied up all day and pooped ( about twice a year this happens..) They are right near the register under hot lamps. No take a number or wait necessary. That said, I think I can still roast a chicken a lot cheaper if I am forewarned and forearmed. The rotiss goes for about 7.99 and I surely can buy a roaster a lot cheaper.

I Like rotisserie chicken. Costco has the very best! hen I shop at Costco I will usually buy one to take home, also Costco has the best chicken salad I have ever eaten, they make it from the LO Rotisserie chicken , if you have not tried it , you need to. The very best.

Roast chicken made at home s good, and when I am in the mood will roast my own, I do not worry about how much the electric bill will go up when I use the oven. I just cook what I want and when I want.cannot believe that people actually worry about this.

I will, but it's hard to believe that Costco ever has leftover chicken
at the rate they sell them... with people standing around waiting for
a restock. I bet they are cooked especially for the chicken salad.

+1 It's just the usual nit pickers doing what they usually do.
Instead of talking about what they cooked, they complain about how
much it cost them right down to the cost per kwh.
