So saw in costco packages of "hand pulled rotisery chicken" selling for $5.5/lb ($16 per package). I guess chickens that don't sell they "disaasemble" and package it. Got me curious, Is it worth paying for hand pulled? how much meat is in a full chicken and average cost per lb?

So got one chicken, pulled myself, remove bones, skin and anything not pure meat..took about 5 minutes ...and weighted. Total Weight was 2.1 lb .. About $5 bucks/chicken.. so $2.5/lb. The labor more than doubles the price. Do you want to pay >2x per pound for pre pulled?

If Costco was a thing where I live*, I'd probably never buy pre-pulled roti chicken. Pulling chicken is mostly something I do with the leftovers, to repurpose them; specially the breast**. So buying it already pulled feels pointless, you know?

*at least here in Paraná most people buy roasted chicken from small, street corner markets. They often have a large rotisserie oven, that can be seen from the street; not just by humans, the neighbourhood dogs often stare those ovens, giving them the "TV de cachorro" (dog TV) nickname.

**most of my family beelines for the red parts, so the breast is typically what's left. The only one who would rather eat the breast is Kika, my cat - but she eats, like, a tablespoon or two worth of chicken. (My other cat Siegfrieda doesn't even recognise it as food.)

RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
