"The leg wasn't all that moist and was a little on the dry side, but it was still good. The thigh, which is always my favorite part of the chicken, was juicy and tender. The breast wasn't as juicy and moist, but it was still satisfying, considering this part of the chicken tends to be drier. It was dense and had a good mouthfeel."
"According to the label, this Whole Foods bird was raised without antibiotics or added hormones, and the ingredients were clear: organic chicken, pepper, and salt. There weren't many things I liked about this chicken, however. The chicken was dry, and even the dark meat tasted overcooked. At least the skin was crisp, and the seasoning, just salt and pepper, was appropriate and satisfying."
Three rotisserie chickens from Costco, Whole Foods, and Safeway were sampled from the leg, breast, and thigh for comparison. The Costco bird featured well-seasoned meat with a slightly dry leg, juicy and tender thigh, and a dense breast with decent mouthfeel; ingredients prompted some skepticism but overall taste was good. The Whole Foods bird listed organic chicken, pepper, and salt and was raised without antibiotics or added hormones; however the chicken was dry, the dark meat tasted overcooked, and the bird lacked moisture despite crisp skin and simple seasoning. The Safeway chicken, at about $9 and under 2 pounds, was juicy and tender throughout with sensible rub ingredients and natural smoke flavor.
