Costco’s chicken is actually a loss leader. Basically that means they sell it for less than it costs to prepare it because if they then put it in the back everyone will have to travel through the whole store and it’s been proven to get them more sales on other items
Well, most of the chicken in the supermarkets are like that. But, most roasted chickens are marinated. If you marinate it for a long time, around 8 to 12 hours, the chicken would be more juicy and not dry.

I'll be in heaven with just 5$ chicken 😅
This man is singlehandedly keeping Erewhon in business💀💀💀
Costco loses money on their chicken and they stated that, it gets customers through the door and it’s tucked away all the way in the back for a reason at a marketing ploy due to people’s mindset knowing it won’t just be a chicken, it’s a win win no matter what
people keep believing that they purposely put it in the back of the store. i don't think that's true. that's just simply where they have all their meats and it's convenient to put the warmers there. why would you have someone roll a cart of chicken all the way to front of the store? just a thought 🤔
@@angels19612011 well actually it is true on placement, it was announced by the marketing team. There was a documentary I watched with Costco included in it.
Costco also used Seed Oils and Carageenans to artificially keep the chicken "moist."
That's some awesome stuff.
You can get a whole chicken cooked and all for $5.
I would be buying this twice a week if I was tryna add some muscle and work out.
I still can't belive that 5$ price is real like what the hell the whole chicken for only 5$ nah i don't believe it
@@twistedinsane5739 its real because they actually lose a lot of money yearly but make money back through their membership and people buying other things with the food
When you’re from certain “ neighborhoods “ , you know you can get better chicken than this right from your OWN kitchen 🤣😂
That's a whole chicken for $5.00. You can’t buy a fresh whole chicken for less unless it's on sale or you are willing to risk your life for spoiled meat.
Those mf costco ribs in the UK hit soo good😢❤
Lol
Today budget 26 dolla
Costco FTW! The color is just enticing.
bro should get a sponsorship from costco fr
I could hear the rage in that “HAIL NO!!!” after wasting $21 on a tiny, dry rotisserie chicken 💀
Is there any particular justified reason why this Erewhon place is so expensive? (Sorry, I’m British lol)
$21 for a rotisserie chicken should be a crime
Costco never dissapoints
As a foreigner, I can't imagine myself going into a supermarket picking up ready chicken from a shelf and then going to eat it at home... HELL NAHHH 💀
Then stay where tf you live lol
@@kyler247 I live in north Africa, Morocco. And I just don't get how people are going to pick up some cold moldy chicken that has been shitting on a shelf for days and then eat it, it's gross.
@@AdamMounam Bro the chicken is not sitting beside the other foods in the store. It's inside a special heating oven and the chicken is thrown out after 5 hours if no one bought it yet.
As being an Asian, Math is compulsory...!
I don't know what the other grocery chicken tastes. I do know how Costco chicken taste, chemically. It use to be good. I go to a grocery store near me, El Super. Their chicken is $8.99, $4.00 more. It is juicy and tasty, worth every penny more ❣️‼️❣️‼️
He didn’t detect the bleach flavor from his Costco chicken 😂
That 5 dollar can buy you chooks to go in the Philippines it has great flavor and great sauce
All these boujee ass places are just ripping off the rich and I'm all for it
5 dollar prety cheap for roasted chicken. Looks tasty as well.
They all smell and taste like live chicken.
They don’t put lemon and vinegar on the chicken before they make them
Erewhon make their chickens smoke weeds that why it get 16+😂
You shop at Erewhon because it’s “healthier”
I shop at Erewhon because I hate seeing the poors
We are not the same
