Costco's rotisserie chicken is good, right? Well, not so fast...

Costco's iconic $4.99 rotisserie chicken has earned a cult-like following among shoppers for years, but Consumer Reports says Sam's Club now has the best bird in the warehouse club business. After evaluating rotisserie chickens from 10 grocery chains, warehouse clubs and big-box retailers, Consumer Reports named Sam's Club's Member's Mark Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken its top overall pick, edging out Costco's Kirkland Signature bird.
According to Consumer Reports, tasters gave Sam's Club the edge for its flavor, seasoning and juicy texture. Costco's chicken also landed among the publication's top picks, though reviewers found the seasoning to be less consistent between samples.
I'll second that emotion. The Babs and I'll do at least one of these a month, and we'll get somewhere between five and eight dinners out of 'em for only five bucks. Two breasts, two thighs and two wings, plus the carcass meat and the carcass for stock means a lot of good eating our house. And, besides, we don't belong to the new Costco they just built here. Waiting for our BJ's membership to lapse...
