Costco is well-known for its popular rotisserie chicken which has almost reached a cult-like status, but there’s a change coming to the way the chicken is packaged. In the past, the chickens were packaged in a hard plastic shell, but that’s changing. The chicken will now come in a plastic bag and some customers are wary about the decision, while others are okay with it.
There’s an entire Reddit thread that claims the chicken-in-a-bag is prone to leaks and one comment said “the bag was super greasy” when they picked it up to put in the cart. Other Canadian Redditors claim that the bags were not a problem with one commenting “We have had these bags in Canada forever, and somehow the world still turns.”
Another Reddit thread was all in favor of the bags. One of the comments from this thread said “Would be easier to navigate into my car space with other items. If the plastic container gets tilted a little too much to one side or the other, the scalding chicken juice runs all over everything. Other customers gave a thumbs up for using less plastic and being easier to carry. Regardless, the next time you purchase a rotisserie chicken at Costco, it’s likely to be packaged in a plastic bag.
