I don't like it very much, I went to the states two years ago and I tried the Costco chicken but something was wrong with not only the taste,but the texture, the chicken in America is too soft.
@Iraq Lobsta!! 45 I know, I've slow roasted chicken before, and it does come out tender and juicy, but there's something wrong with its texture, it threw me off. Where I come from, the chickens are smaller than the U.S, maybe because they put too much growth hormone in the chickens in the states ,and that's why they don't grow naturally, so in compromising the taste and texture of the bird.
Before I retired from my regular work, getting a hot, fresh chicken from Costco for dinner Friday night was a tradition. We had chicken for dinner, and used the rest through the weekend for sandwiches, salads or soup or casseroles, enchiladas, etc. Delicious and inexpensive.
I feel like Costco played the system. They are able to provide great deals for customers while making more money than their competitors. Great company, great business model.

Short version: it's what's known as a "loss leader". This is when a store intentionally sells a product for less than what it costs them to put it on the shelf in order to attract customers who will usually buy something else while they're there. Grocery stores do this with milk.
Another story.. I remember back in the day in Washington, Costco locations were very scarce. So most people would have to travel on the interstate for more than 45 minutes just for groceries. But of course, buy bulk and save, and before Costco only accepted cash! That said, the reason why Chicken, Hotdogs and food court goods were so cheap was because it was a treat for the long trek home. And some people were eating chicken in the food court!
@@hatchjustin it's been confirmed by multiple sources to be a loss leader. They lose tens of millions on them each year. But they make way, way more on high PM items.
If the chickens weren't being eaten they'd never be hatched to begin with. A few months of existance eating all the GMO corn and soy you can handle vs. never existing? Not a tough choice for a chicken.
Yup, I used to work at a chicken factory, and we used the same chicken for Kirkland and the more expensive brand. 🤣 The difference was that the most beautiful, clean looking or well trimmed chicken would go to the more expensive brand. That's it. Even then, I rarely saw a difference between the two. 😅
I used to not be a fan of Costco, or any buy-in-bulk store chain for that matter. Then the food lured me in and I love Costco now. From the chicken to the pizza, everything is just perfect.
Good luck with that. They strategically place them so you gotta go all the way to the very back of the store. If you can resist the temptation that awaits good on you. Everytime I go I spend over $100 though lol...
@@zain4019 you've never shopped at the Costco in Temecula, CA, have you? It's not resisting temptation. The chicken is in the back, past the samples where everybody bunches up and blocks the aisles. Even of you go straight for it, you're looking at 10 minutes from the entrance to the chicken to the registers. Add 5 to 10 minutes minimum to check out and the ridiculous parking lot, and you're going to say, "If I'm in here, I might as well make it worth my time. "
Well I guess my comments had NOTHING to do about their chicken. Lol. BUT when I was hired at COSTCO in October of 2004 I actually worked in the Deli and I loaded that oven everyday with those chickens!!!! They are DELICIOUS! After that I went to work on the front-end and then the Gas Station which was my FAVORITE job! I also helped out as a door greeter the meat market Demos AND the seafood roadshows. I got around that store. Lol.
Home Depot started out selling the large can of WD 40 for seventy seven cents while they paid one dollar eleven for that product.It is just the cost of getting customers in your store to buy additional items.

Costco® has been selling their rotisserie birds since at least the mid 1990s, and perhaps even earlier. I remember pointing out to one of my co-workers how good they were, and this was when I worked in Totem Lake which was from 1993 to 2001.

Vertical integration in the food industry is driving farmers out of business. Costco, Tyson, Smithfield, etc. externalize the costs of production (barn, feed, electricity, labor), putting all of those burdens on the farmer and then only pay $0.20/bird. Not to mention the dangerous/unhealthy working and living conditions in those barns. Please don’t turn your nose up at farmers charging $15-$20/bird. That’s the actual cost to produce a good bird. It’s time Americans start to appreciate our farmers more by paying just a bit more for good food that doesn’t destroy our environment. Source: I’m a farmer...

I've had both Kroger and Walmart rotisserie chickens, but never Costco. I had a Walmart one for Christmas and it was seasoned with paprika, garlic and lemon. YUM!
I buy their tasty $10.00 pre-made bulk chicken salad and then some fresh bread & lettuce to make sandwiches for days, just keep it all cold in the fridge. Talk about saving a boat load of money on lunches....... man! You're welcome! ":^)
Zoetropeification........ No, but it's the same rotisserie chicken they sell whole and has that rotisserie flavor (all white meat too). It's just they just have so much in bulk and it keeps the people flowing in. It really does have a great taste and there's plenty to pile on and get a real hearty sandwich. I mean you can add to it if you want to dress it up further but it comes ready to go on the bread. I'm like....does anyone else know about this deal? WOW!!! Think about how much you would spend on a sandwich even for a couple of days worth. Just buy your bread of choice ad lettuce if you like and voila' a big juicy chicken sandwich. BAM!!! ":^)
I'm a Sam's Club member. One year my boss gave all his employees $100 gift card to Costco as part of our Christmas bonus. I used over half of my card to simply purchase the rotisserie whole chicken. My card lasted me into the start of summer. Their chicken tastes better than Sam's IMO.
Especially now since Sam’s Club made the bone head move of changing their ovens. Its now a big air fryer and it sucks. Costco still has the classic roasters and their chickens are bigger besides being way juicier than Sam’s Club.
@@ladytea697 Not my Sam's. I asked when I went last Friday [10.20.23] and the chicken cooker guy said "No", but they are updating their ovens, ...but not getting air fryers.
Here in Australia we pay heaps less for rotisserie chicken from Woolworths and Coles. But we then get the rolls, tomato sauce aka ketchup butter and maybe a leafy salad. The salad cost nearly as much as the chicken lol.
I had this very conversation with my Mother earlier today. I told her that I am going to post my recipe for Crock Pot rotisserie chicken. She told me how much it cost at Costco, and I wondered why anyone would even bother cooking.
I went into a publics and the price of a rotisserie chicken was 8.99 ,so I called Costco and ask If i could come buy just one chicken because it was like pharmacy food for the soul ,they said no so I asked if they could start selling the whole cooked at the food court ,the manager said he would look into it.I got chicken on my taste buds so I was not going to give up,I then asked if I could borrow a chicken for 4.99 and promise to buy a membership on pay day,the answer was still no and you could see the ripples starting to form on his fore head at that point I attempted to ask one more question and he blurted out just go and get 1 chick and no more and man did it taste good when I got home.I wore him down but the next day I sent an e-mail to the corporate office and recommended the he be the employee of the year. I love that Costco's chicken.
It's simple. You have to have a membership to shop there. Basic membership is $50 a year. Let's say 50,000,000 people buy a membership. That's $2,500,000,000 a year not including store sales.
I used to buy Rotisserie chickens alot from various stores. Many are super high in sodium and cholesterol. I changed to buying ground low-fat turkey instead, just as high in protein and lower in sodium and calories. Just a tip if you are trying to eat healthy.
I know these animal farm shots get people talking but let's stay away from the binary arguments. A chicken's brain is the size of a shelled peanut, it does not process its lifestyle with the same awareness or value as we do, and its life (on a food farm) is rather short. Projecting humanity onto an animal is not the same as treating it decently.
I used to work in the deli at COSTCO and made these chickens on a daily basis. They are DELICIOUS!!!!! But it was a BITCH cleaning that oven every night!!!! Lol!!!!
So what's the regular price for a rotisserie chicken in the US? In my country rotisserie chickens are sort of a frugal choice for people on a budget since they are cheap (around 4 to 5 USD tops)
No big mystery. It's what they call a "loss leader", and all big stores do it. For some stores it's soda. Others it's bottled water. It can be different products at different times. Costco's loss leader happens to be chickens.
Costco chickens are raised with growth hormones and kept in a large farm with no sunlight even eating their own feces to stay alive. Great deal at what price?!
Costco's has been doing it right since day one, But even they cant hold out forever in regards to inflation and higher costs. today Costco's prices are higher than ever. just about everything is at least $20. The only real upside is that your still getting your monies worth in bulk. And the normal supermarket outlets are charging as or nearly as much with well over a third less product. Its still better to shop at costco's. Their are other players in the field thats much cheaper and also have good product. Aldi's and Trader Joes offer great value.
Both the rotisserie chicken and the hot dog/soda deal are “loss leaders” because, while you are there, you’ll spend 2 to 3 hundred dollars on regular costco stuff. Love costco, but that’s why the chicken and hot dogs stay so cheap.
UGH.....nooopppeee Albertson's and Safeway is around 7.99 now. And they suck because they are tasteless and over cooked...roasted or whatever they do to them. And....ANNNND...they tinnnnnyyyyyy birds....compared to Costco's.
It's because they lose money to make money. Like a casino with free drinks. Costco will lose money on chickens and hot dogs to make more money when people shop. A lot of people think they are saving money by buying in bulk. Some things are but others it's actually more expensive.
Are you a fan of that Costco chicken? Why or why not?
Yes. Because they are delicious and very inexpensive.
I don't like it very much, I went to the states two years ago and I tried the Costco chicken but something was wrong with not only the taste,but the texture, the chicken in America is too soft.

2019: why Costco has cheap chicken's
Dubai has flying taxi's, so we have the flying car and now we are starved.....another chicken please
Every day, I wake up and thank the Good Lord for not being born as a chicken !
Been going to Costco for a year now, bought my first chicken last week.
Wish Costco bring back the 18” whole combo pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and veggies for $9.95. Sam's Club has it but not as good.
Yeah, really miss the 18 inch combo pizza.
That's funny. I just bought a chicken from there and was wondering how and why they sell it so cheap. Thanks for the explanation!

We get a rotisserie chicken here in the UAE for like AED5 (1.5$approx).
Vertical integration in the food industry is driving farmers out of business. Costco, Tyson, Smithfield, etc. externalize the costs of production (barn, feed, electricity, labor), putting all of those burdens on the farmer and then only pay $0.20/bird. Not to mention the dangerous/unhealthy working and living conditions in those barns. Please don’t turn your nose up at farmers charging $15-$20/bird. That’s the actual cost to produce a good bird. It’s time Americans start to appreciate our farmers more by paying just a bit more for good food that doesn’t destroy our environment. Source: I’m a farmer...

Of course you would say that silly... and as a farmer you know that the more efficient you get the more money you make... boo hoo baby... swiss watch verses a timex... you do the math silly... hand rolled cigars vs cigarettes... let the market tell you what to grow or sell out and buy stock in the business you sold out to :P

@Scott Daniel / THE BIG CHAINS ARE MAKING THAM A THING OF THE PAST /SORRY TO SAY //
If you had a million chickens you wouldn't have to charge 15-20$ per bird to make a profit.
Walmart still has a 5 dollar chicken where I live. They sure are tasty . The local super markets went to 7 or 8 dollars and do not even spice them.
Their chickens are less than 2 lbs where Costco chickens are 3 lbd
I've had both Kroger and Walmart rotisserie chickens, but never Costco. I had a Walmart one for Christmas and it was seasoned with paprika, garlic and lemon. YUM!
$2 pizza is huge and great too! Irwindale CA
True, true

Thanks for the video, I truly appreciate the information
During the holidays you gotta stand by in a line tryna get this chicken but it’s so worth it!
Either way, their chicken is still delicious!
I buy their tasty $10.00 pre-made bulk chicken salad and then some fresh bread & lettuce to make sandwiches for days, just keep it all cold in the fridge. Talk about saving a boat load of money on lunches....... man! You're welcome! ":^)
Is their chicken salad made from leftover rotisserie?
Bring me a sammich to work tomorrow
Spot on
Zoetropeification........ No, but it's the same rotisserie chicken they sell whole and has that rotisserie flavor (all white meat too). It's just they just have so much in bulk and it keeps the people flowing in. It really does have a great taste and there's plenty to pile on and get a real hearty sandwich. I mean you can add to it if you want to dress it up further but it comes ready to go on the bread. I'm like....does anyone else know about this deal? WOW!!! Think about how much you would spend on a sandwich even for a couple of days worth. Just buy your bread of choice ad lettuce if you like and voila' a big juicy chicken sandwich. BAM!!! ":^)
Victor Matthews...... extra mayo and pickles? ":^)
I'm a Sam's Club member. One year my boss gave all his employees $100 gift card to Costco as part of our Christmas bonus. I used over half of my card to simply purchase the rotisserie whole chicken. My card lasted me into the start of summer. Their chicken tastes better than Sam's IMO.
Especially now since Sam’s Club made the bone head move of changing their ovens. Its now a big air fryer and it sucks. Costco still has the classic roasters and their chickens are bigger besides being way juicier than Sam’s Club.
@@ladytea697 Not my Sam's. I asked when I went last Friday [10.20.23] and the chicken cooker guy said "No", but they are updating their ovens, ...but not getting air fryers.
In Canada ,rotisserie chicken sells for $7.00 .
Here in Australia we pay heaps less for rotisserie chicken from Woolworths and Coles. But we then get the rolls, tomato sauce aka ketchup butter and maybe a leafy salad. The salad cost nearly as much as the chicken lol.
I go to Sam's Club for the rotisserie Chicken and Costco for the hot dog, for better tastes.
I had this very conversation with my Mother earlier today. I told her that I am going to post my recipe for Crock Pot rotisserie chicken. She told me how much it cost at Costco, and I wondered why anyone would even bother cooking.
Then I thought about it. If you want organic, free range chicken, or a special seasoning style you would need to make it yourself.
we love Costco for the quality and price point.
They are the best deal in town !
♨️The chicken you're going to be having Tonight, 💁🏾♀️His Name was Colin..😭😂😂
We are getting a Costco this summer can’t wait
I went into a publics and the price of a rotisserie chicken was 8.99 ,so I called Costco and ask If i could come buy just one chicken because it was like pharmacy food for the soul ,they said no so I asked if they could start selling the whole cooked at the food court ,the manager said he would look into it.I got chicken on my taste buds so I was not going to give up,I then asked if I could borrow a chicken for 4.99 and promise to buy a membership on pay day,the answer was still no and you could see the ripples starting to form on his fore head at that point I attempted to ask one more question and he blurted out just go and get 1 chick and no more and man did it taste good when I got home.I wore him down but the next day I sent an e-mail to the corporate office and recommended the he be the employee of the year. I love that Costco's chicken.

Even Chef Jacques Pepin likes Costco rotisserie chickens..😄
Mad chicken with a gun will now be in my dreams
@Fine Luxury Living Real Estate U.S. Marshals was a good superhero crossover movie. Blade, Two-Face, Iron-man dukeing it out.
It's simple. You have to have a membership to shop there. Basic membership is $50 a year. Let's say 50,000,000 people buy a membership. That's $2,500,000,000 a year not including store sales.
I always get the chicken at costco, but I never leave with just the chicken.
Poor chickens.🤦♂️
*OMG sOmeOne cAlL peTa*
Don't go vegan on us now.
get rekt
Okay go release them in the wild so they can die
My costo is so full all the time it looks like they are selling stuff for free
No more Low quality products no COSTCO ,healthy food happy life , Whole Foods is the best + Trader Joe’s excellent place for shopping!!!!

You should have titled this:
"4 Minute Costco Ad"
It's $4.98 at Walmart.
Don't buy any Cooked food from Walmart !
@@mikemotteberg3527 No. I buy it at Costco.
@@heru-deshet359 I guess I get it now, $4.98 that is one cent cheaper, I should have known.
Man this video got me hungry
BeWare, I Live, I hunger.
Run, chicken! *I AM SINISTAR!*
The only thing I hate about Costco is that they removed the Polish Hot dogs...
Which in turn has probably helped to increase your life span.
But the All Beef hot dogs are good also
And the Chocolate soft serve.
I used to buy Rotisserie chickens alot from various stores. Many are super high in sodium and cholesterol. I changed to buying ground low-fat turkey instead, just as high in protein and lower in sodium and calories. Just a tip if you are trying to eat healthy.
It's $7.99 here in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
So this is a 4 minute video that could just be two words: loss leader.
4 minutes ain't long stop bitching
@@SouthBayLA1310 Dad?
Yep. Extended version is "loss leader placed at farthest end of store smelling yummy".
Thank you dad for sacrificing your time to save mine
CurtisBooksMusic basically now quit crying boy you want ur chicken or not 🐥
Those chickens don't see the sun or any other thing, only chickens and feed. By any measure that is a cruel existence.
I know these animal farm shots get people talking but let's stay away from the binary arguments. A chicken's brain is the size of a shelled peanut, it does not process its lifestyle with the same awareness or value as we do, and its life (on a food farm) is rather short. Projecting humanity onto an animal is not the same as treating it decently.
Then lets put them out of their misery and eat more of them!!
I raise chickens, and contrary to you idiot liberals, they are meant for food and do a good job of providing it.
I used to work in the deli at COSTCO and made these chickens on a daily basis. They are DELICIOUS!!!!! But it was a BITCH cleaning that oven every night!!!! Lol!!!!
Yup
So what's the regular price for a rotisserie chicken in the US? In my country rotisserie chickens are sort of a frugal choice for people on a budget since they are cheap (around 4 to 5 USD tops)
Gotta say I went to Costco for a chicken and but bought a $2000 TV on the way out.
No big mystery. It's what they call a "loss leader", and all big stores do it. For some stores it's soda. Others it's bottled water. It can be different products at different times.
Costco's loss leader happens to be chickens.
Why did they quit selling that delicious carrot cake. I have not been able to find out. I want to know
Costco chickens are raised with growth hormones and kept in a large farm with no sunlight even eating their own feces to stay alive. Great deal at what price?!
What price you ask?
$4.99
Costco's has been doing it right since day one, But even they cant hold out forever in regards to inflation and higher costs. today Costco's prices are higher than ever. just about everything is at least $20. The only real upside is that your still getting your monies worth in bulk. And the normal supermarket outlets are charging as or nearly as much with well over a third less product. Its still better to shop at costco's. Their are other players in the field thats much cheaper and also have good product. Aldi's and Trader Joes offer great value.
Trader Joe's Ftw
Costco is definitely cheaper but they always get me spending over $200 lol.
Is the Singularity here?
In Singapore, a supermarket sells chicken also roasted for $4.75. I'm not sure how they do it but I buy that often for lunch lolz
Do they deliver?
Stephanie Luigon I don't think so
Let’s be honest, they’d make the same amount of sales if it was $7.50
I can't hate on Costco. One of life's pleasures on this mundane realm
Both the rotisserie chicken and the hot dog/soda deal are “loss leaders” because, while you are there, you’ll spend 2 to 3 hundred dollars on regular costco stuff. Love costco, but that’s why the chicken and hot dogs stay so cheap.
Rotisserie chickens are $5 just about everywhere.
At my walmart, 2 lb rotisserie is around $7 and a 1 lb is $5.
@@maxmage102 Around my neck of the woods it's about $5,
@@maxmage102 around my neck of the woods it IS $5. You can also get a 5lb uncooked for $5 at walmart.
@@maxmage102 I dont have a neck.
UGH.....nooopppeee Albertson's and Safeway is around 7.99 now. And they suck because they are tasteless and over cooked...roasted or whatever they do to them. And....ANNNND...they tinnnnnyyyyyy birds....compared to Costco's.
The best reason to shop at Costco is because they're not Sams owned by Walmart.
I'll be passing now that I know they're feeding their chickens with Monsanto soy
SO TRUE /AND THAT SOY CROP HAS BEEN SPRAYED WITH //ROUNDUP /IT`S ALL POISON FOOD NOW DAYS //
It's because they lose money to make money. Like a casino with free drinks. Costco will lose money on chickens and hot dogs to make more money when people shop. A lot of people think they are saving money by buying in bulk. Some things are but others it's actually more expensive.
It's called a loss leader
You answered your own question on why the cooked is cheaper than the raw. They go bad faster. Plus doesn’t take much labor for rotisserie chicken
