When it comes to Walmart’s rotisserie chicken, think twice before buying another. While the low price may be appealing, especially if it’s on sale, for $4.98, you’ll only get less than two pounds of chicken—1 lb. 13 oz. to be exact.
Why settle for less when you can get a larger bird for the same price at Sam’s or Costco?
Despite the fact that Walmart owns Sam’s Club, the products are not the same. A fowl from Sam’s weights 3 pounds, which is the same weight as Costco’s rotisserie chicken. Flavor is an important consideration in addition to size.
Reviews on Walmart’s product page are inconsistent, with concerns regarding overdone or undercooked chicken.
In contrast, Costco typically scores first in taste testing. Costco’s highly juicy and tasty rotisserie chicken takes first place, with Walmart’s coming in last.
One Reddit user noted, “Sam’s rotisserie chickens crush Costco’s rotisserie chickens every day of the week.” However, Walmart does have an edge in one category—their sodium content.
For a 3-ounce serving, Walmart’s rotisserie chicken contains 690 mg of sodium, slightly higher than Sam’s Club at 550 mg, and Costco at 460 mg.
Whole Foods offers a lower sodium option, with their rotisserie chicken containing just 280 mg of sodium per 1/4 of a bird, making it a solid choice for those watching their sodium intake.
