Rotisserie chicken now $7.99 at the grocery stores around here. They also roast them breast-down which makes the white meat greasy as hell, and hard to carve. I just buy a big thing of chicken strips, cook them at the beginning of the week, and use them for protein in every meal throughout the week. All my meals are based around this now.
"Rotisserie" derives from "rotate", as in the chicken is constantly being rotated as it's cooked. If it's being roasted breast-down (or breast-up, or any other consistent breast direction) then it's not rotisserie.
Sorry I should say it's packaged breast-down, so the breast are compacted hard and full of grease by the time you get it. Nasty way to do it.
Yes. These are sold more cheaply now because it's a loss leader and they are pale imitation of the true product that they represent. They loaded with extra fat and salt, which is why people love them. Like they are literally injected with a solution of fat, salt, and chemical agents to tenderize the meat. It's the same as McDonalds, but people are under the delusion it is 'healthy' and 'natural' or something. It's processed food make for mass consumption at lowest possible cost.
A legit rotisserie chicken is 2-4x that cost and would not taste nearly as good because of the lack of fat and salt.
