I didn't think the Costco shicken was nearly as salty as the ones I buy
at Cub.

I've only bought rotisserie chicken from Costco a couple of times,
but it's nowhere near some of the ones I've come across at some
supermarkets when it comes to being salty. Yowsa.

Either brined or drastically oversalted. Either way, they are good for
an occasional treat. We leave our trips to there or the other big box
place until just before lunchtime. Do the list then pick up a chicken
and go home for a hot chicken lunch. Finishing off one bought on Tues
LOL. Stir-fry with vegs and pasta.

Our local s/m was advertising 'colossal' rotisserie chicken for 6.99.
The weight (in very small print): a whopping 3 lbs!

Yes, they are frankenbirds. They have been bred to be ready to
butcher at 6-10 weeks, their bones don't support their weight much after
that and they have far fewer feathers. They aren't old and they are too
fat to be active, so the meat stays very tender.

Our heritage turkeys dress out to at least 12 pounds when they are
full grown (they can be larger, too, up to about 20 pounds). I don't
think commercial turkeys are butchered that small.

I think all of the stores around here have the chicken rotisserie thing but
it isn't necessarily visible to the public. The ones at Costco are quite
spectacular though because they are so huge! I should think one loaded spit
would weigh a ton.

LOL! Think the neighbours would object! Although someone in the next
street over seems to raise 'show' fowl. A couple of them got out one
time. Fortunately the local cats didn't seem to know that...

I think the chickens on the CostCo "tilt-a-whirl" mimic the high end
weight of Americans. No disparaging my countrymen because the rest of
the world is catching up with us. They can laugh all they want, but
they are gaining weight with every breath - so they should enjoy it
while they can.

I didn't think Costco was using FF roasters...roasters are usually 6+
lbs. Costco is generous, but not that generous.

i haven't seen them, but that doesn't mean much.

once my parents dropped me off at my building after having lunch and two
men dressed as nuns passed by riding on a tandem bicycle. it wasn't part
of a parade or anything, just a saturday afternoon.
