"Beyond chicken (obviously) and sea salt, the bird is seasoned with "dried chicken broth" and "natural flavor (rosemary extract)." That rosemary extract is essentially the concentrated version of tossing a sprig of rosemary on your rotisserie chicken, except they use the extract instead of the fresh herb. Then there's carrageenan - a gelatin-like substance derived from seaweed whose job is keeping your chicken tender and moist while it sits in the packaging."
"But there's more to the list! Next to the "seasoning", there's also this section: "rubbed with: spices, garlic powder, salt, dehydrated lemon peel [just dry lemon zest], citric acid, dehydrated parsley, natural flavors". These are all pretty familiar ingredients, some of which you probably have in your pantry right now. The only parts that might raise questions are the "spices" and "natural flavors" - these are likely proprietary spice and flavoring blends that Walmart prefers to keep under wraps, so it's nothing unusual there."
Walmart rotisserie chickens list ingredients on the packaging. Ingredients include chicken, sea salt, dried chicken broth, and natural flavor labeled as rosemary extract. Rosemary extract functions as a concentrated version of fresh rosemary. Carrageenan, derived from seaweed, helps keep the chicken tender and moist while packaged. The bird is also rubbed with spices, garlic powder, salt, dehydrated lemon peel, citric acid, dehydrated parsley, and additional natural flavors. The terms "spices" and "natural flavors" likely indicate proprietary blends. A 2.25-pound rotisserie chicken typically retails for about $5.97.
