Pretty sure SAMs is selling farm raised Asian jungle fowl and just telling you it's rotisserie chicken.

I've been preaching this on this board for a few years. My stocks are as basic as you can get. Sometimes I'll add peppercorns, but that's it. I'll flavor the actual dish with veggies, seasonings, etc. at time of cooking.

It's crazy to add the Trinity to make a stock, then turn around and cook with the Trinity again when you're making the dish. The obvious exception is a veggie stock.

a whole chicken ... cost $6.13


A few weeks back, The wife and I decided that a rotisserie chicken at Sam's was cheaper than an uncooked chicken at Sam's.

At least that day it was.

I like to make broth with the remainders, too (as someone up above me said). Actually I usually make chicken broth cooked Basmati rice with it.

Seems to me it would cost you 38 cents. Not free

That's the way I figure it.

Am I the only person who finds stock made from rotisserie chickens overly salty and not worth the trouble? Most supermarket/club store roasted chickens are coated with some seasoning blend, and the stock resulting from the carcass always tastes "off" to me. Would rather get some necks, backs, n wings, roast a little while in the oven, then make stock. I get to control the salt level and seasonings.

Where are you buying your chickens from, Whole Foods? There is no way a rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw chicken.


At Rouses, the rotisserie and raw chickens are pretty much the same price, unless raw chickens are on sale. Somewhere around $5-$6. I load up when they're on sale. And that's the cheap whole raw chickens. They have some that are $10.

Same here. The cooked might be $1 more, but after I spend the time to prepare it and using the oven, the overall is probably the same.

I don't necessarily think it's crazy. I'll typically add some onions, celery and a few other items, give or take (depending on what I plan on using it for). I think it adds to the flavor, but your mileage may vary.

Much prefer raw whole chicken for stock. JMO though everyone is different
