After a while you'll get tired of it. I've brought a few home that were still pink in the middle. I'm sure if you buy enough of them you'll find one like it sooner or later.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I have plenty of things to make and eat, which is fun, and don't intend to make a regular practice of buying them. But, I love chicken and this one was perfect. i have a few recipes in which cooked chicken is an ingredient, this will work well.

Had good luck with them for a long time, then I got one that was pink in the middle about a year ago.
Puked my guts up for two days.
Haven't had the courage to try another.

I have been known to tear off a leg quarter and eat it on the way home. Good stuff!!!!

They spice it well but in general they just do so many of them that they've gotten it down perfectly - 99% of the time. It's one of their most effective loss leaders, like their deli hot dogs and stuff. They get you in for those, and know that you'll see at least one other something you'll discover you need.

So, how is the chicken different? not different at all, just tastes like it should. the only unusual thing about it is the low price tag

We use it for enchilada's, gumbo, Buffalo chicken dip, etc. They're a tasty time saver!

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Been buying the things for 20 years. At one point when all three kids were in high school and playing sports we'd go through three or four a week. Never had a pink one. Back when they were 3.99 it was a huge food savings for a larger family.
Only time I can beat that price is when whole chickens are less than buck a pound. That's if you don't include your time to prepare chicken and toss in oven.

Everything in that picture is from Costco except the counter top. Otherwise known as a "JimC conniption"

Can't beat them! Favorite way for the last 6 months has been saute thin sliced onion, 6 or 8 big garlic cloves, skin and seed and chop up 8 or 10 of our frozen roasted green chiles, can of drained tomatoes salt pepper and just a dash of cumin, I hate the stuff but Momma loves it. When everything is just reaching done toss in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Fry up some corn tortillas, just past soft, just very light crisp, I hate em hard shelled, stuff in chicken mix and top with cheese and homemade salsa, damn near eat your fingers off!

Discerning value shoppers look for the roasted chicken with breasts pressing against the lid just like that chick washing the car in front of Cool Hand Luke's chain gang.
More bang for your 5 dollar chicken.
