I know this is preaching to the choir here, but that is so very out of touch for many/most/all of us.

Those things cost like $5 - $9 in my area, and you can even get the "old" ones for a couple dollars cheaper at times. It costs very little more than raw chicken, and in some cases, the rotisserie chickens cost less. Then you factor in time for cooking, clean-up, products for clean-up, and other time / material costs, and the difference comes out a wash.

So, they are apparently suggesting that having chicken in a meal at all is a splurge. Sure, in some idealistic world where we all eat a vegan diet to save the earth, that might fly. But in the real world, it's literally insane propaganda to suggest that chicken is a splurge.

Sort of the opposite of what I would consider a "splurge."

Anything more than a chicken tender, piece of broccoli and a small tortilla, is gluttony I say!

It’s one rotisserie chicken, Michael. How much could it cost, fifty dollars?

If saving 5 bucks on your grocery bill is the thing that keeps your head above water... you're probably already deep enough to meet the ghost of that OceanGate CEO.

When I splurge, I buy hamburger at 9$ a lb.

Rotisserie chicken is like the absolute cheapest food a person can buy.
