A lot of people seem to be proud of never buying rotisserie chicken. I
must be one of the few who thinks I should do it more often. I haven't
bought one in years. It just doesn't find our shopping system.  The
times I did buy them they were delicious and it was cheaper to buy a
freshly cook bird than it would be to buy one and cook it yourself. The
cold leftovers are almost better than the meat was hot.

off and it's barely cooked at all sometimes.  i end up putting
a lot of it in the microwave to get it hot enough.  but at least
i don't get sick from them as often as i do from parts that are
not a whole chicken.

That's normal in Costco rotisserie chicken for the thigh to body joint
to be red. My wife is grossed out by it. I suppose she's got a point. My
feeling is that if you can pull the thigh easily off the bird, it's
cooked. My guess is that if Costco cooked their chicken to get rid of
the red, it would be overdone. I like chicken cooked that way. A lot of
people don't.
