Here’s Why Purchasing a Rotisserie Chicken from Walmart Is a Bad Idea
Walmart’s rotisserie chicken might not be the best choice, despite its low price of $4.98 for a 1 lb. 13 oz. bird. For the same price, you can get a larger, tastier chicken at Sam’s Club or Costco.
Size and Taste
Walmart’s chicken is smaller, and reviews are mixed, with complaints about uneven cooking. In contrast, Costco’s rotisserie chicken is widely praised for its flavor and juiciness.
Sodium Content
Walmart’s chicken contains 690 mg of sodium per 3 ounces, higher than Sam’s Club (550 mg) and Costco (460 mg). If you’re watching sodium, Whole Foods offers a lower-sodium option at 280 mg per 1/4 bird.
For better value and taste, consider other stores next time you buy rotisserie chicken
