While I recently judged Sam’s Club’s lasagna soup to be the inferior choice for Lasagna Soup season, I just finally tried one of their rotissserie chickens. Whoa! I’ve never had the renowned Costco version, but this was fantastic. For about five bucks the supermarket chickens can’t hold a candle to these.

Admittedly, I grabbed one fresh from the rotisserie and was eating it within 30 minutes, so that helps, but it was amazing. The only word that kept springing to mind was “succulent”. Juicy. Plump. Meaty. Extremely flavorful. It reminded me of the heyday of Boston Chicken (not Market), when they were really doing rotisserie chicken right. I will definitely be grabbing these again when popping in to Sam’s Club.

I urge you to look at that delicous looking treat on their website before taking a look at mine.
