Sadly, we agree with this article on ‘Should You Buy Groceries At Walmart’ and that rotisserie chickens are not a recommended purchase at Walmart as compared to our local markets.
We can try are hardest to Shop Local, but like it or not, sometimes there’s no avoiding shopping the big box store. And for many, that means a trip to Walmart.
Recently we did our weekly meal prep and needed two rotisserie chickens, but the local grocer (Publix) only had one available. So we drove to Walmart for the other. They had plenty in stock and we thought we found our new go to place.
We purchased two Lemon Pepper flavored chickens and once home we quickly noticed the differences. The Publix chicken simply looked nicer to eat and you could see the herbs and spices on the outside. But with the Walmart chicken, there were no visual herbs or seasoning on the outside and sneaking a taste, for this foodie, it simply tasted fake.
And while it appeared larger in size there was not more meat inside. Disappointing enough that still nice then we have not purchased another rotisserie chicken from Walmart.
