Comment on you're untapped value
Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 6 days agoIt isn’t a chicken that’s about to go bad, chickens that are for the rotisserie are smaller than the whole chickens that they sell raw. You pay less because it is a smaller chicken that has been cooked. The raw whole chicken is usually a higher weight than the rotisserie was before it was cooked.
The smaller chicken is chosen to be cooked because people wouldn’t buy those smaller chickens raw since the are so small so they are a loss leader to get you in the store.

Aren’t they just smaller because they have been roasted? I assumed they are the same chickens but the water has been evaporated.

Some stores will sell them, they are usually sold as roaster chickens. They fit nicely in an air fryer but a lot of store that are getting rid of their actual butchers get everything in pre packaged. The rotisserie chicken come in a bulk box not packaged for individual sale.
It has been a few years since I worked in a supermarket/ food logistics but generally things don’t change much.
