I Don't Know if I will Ever Cook Another Chicken

Sam's rotisserie chickens are so cheap, so good, so easy to use and then you make broth from the bones.  Why cook chicken?

 

I just can't find a reason now.  Maybe some breasts for chicken and rice, but really.  Why would I?  Are you cooking whole chickens now?  I am lazy.  I'll admit it.

I still do sometimes, there is always a line waiting for them at my Sams club.  We are retired but we go on Saturday since we help with my grandson during the week.

 

Also after grocery shopping we get a big order of Panda express and eat it saturday and sunday.  Its not my favorite but my husband likes it and it keeps me out of the kitchen.  Next time there isn't a line I will have to get one, your right they are very good and better than Costco's.

@Sooner  Oh man you got that right!  I quit cooking a whole chicken years ago!  I got a big family and we typically grab 3 when I need them for dinner.  I make mashed potatoes and a vegetable and it's delicious.  I have stood in line for them but don't mind.  Well worth it.

Re: I Don't Know if I will Ever Cook Another Chicken

I live in NYC and don't have a Sam's; just supermarket rotisserie chickens and they are very expensive!  A raw chicken is easily a third of the price of a cooked one.  I only indulge in one on  the hottest summer days when I can't even look at the stove.  I think there are a lot of advantages to living in a city but cheap food prices are not one of them.

Enjoy your Sam's chickens!

@Sooner i cant buy a raw whole chicken for the same size and price of a Sam's Club rotiserre chicken. Im with you, why cook one? Im lucky to have a Sams nearby. Rotiserre Chickens at Publix are $4 more and 1/3 smaller.

Sam's Club chickens are the best.  Two dinners and a sandwich for each of us from 1 chicken.

I was getting Costco'c Rotessere chicken until we got sick and went to whole fresh chicken. I roasted using Lydia's B receipe with Lemons and Rosemary.  I last me about a week, although, i freeze some and then make chicken soup.  I share it with the dog for a few of her meals.  She also got sick on Costco's roasted chicken.  Yes, it takes time, but so much better and healthier. Of course, I don't work on the outside, so I have more time.

I also buy chicken thighs and use for soup when they are on sale and the whole chicken is not.  To each their own.  Enjoy, which ever one pleases you. I like the thighs for soup.  Maybe because the breast are too dry even in soup.

I still roast whole chickens.

 

 I love the Costco rotisserie chickens, but theirs, and others stores, have many ingredients and a lot of sodium.  They are processed.

 

I only get one a couple of times per year.

I don't recall ever cooking one, either.

 

I don't live near a Sam's or Costco. Maybe had a rotisserie chicken 10-12 yrs ago?
