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.

    too often i'm finding them not properly cooked.  pull a thigh
off and it's barely cooked at all sometimes.

I don't know where you get your cooked chicken but "barely cooked" sounds like a problem.  Try a different store.

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.

I have never gotten sick from eating take-out cooked chicken.  I don't deep fry anything at home but I occasionally buy fried chicken (thighs and drumsticks) from the grocery store or a nearby gas station (!) and it's never been "barely cooked".  Never gotten sick from eating it.  The gas station actually makes really good crispy fried chicken that has been injected with hot sauce so it's nice and spicy. :)
