Obviously you've never had one from CostCo. Bring plenty of napkins to wipe up the juice running down your chin.
I will admit to some skepticism at first. A friend who was a programmer for a large Northwest grocery chain alleged the chickens that made it to the rotisserie were a bit past their sell date to put it lightly.
I'm also wary of the conveniently pre-seasoned meats I see in the stores.
Overall the chicken is juicy. As far as I'm concerned the white meat is never juicy no matter how you prepare it. At one point boneless, skinless chicken breasts were cheap and I ate a lot of them baked. Now they cause a gag reflex. Usually I get the boneless, skinless thighs. They have some taste at least. If I do get white meat it's for stir fry, curry, or something else that adds some flavor.
The chickens are moist, but they have been brined or injected to be that way. I did, in a weak moment, but one a few years ago. I can do better myself.
I can make really good white meat in any variety of ways. The method is simple**, DON"T cook it too much. When I do it, it's even better than dark meat. **Complication is, don't cook it too little either.
It's not only grocery whole cooked chickens where the white meat is overdone, it's almost everywhere. I even went to Chick-fil-A once, because they were talked about so much and only have white meat, and they did okay, but not as good as I do.
That is true. I don't buy raw meat that has been injected because I don't care to pay for up to 10% of the weight as salt water. However the CostCo rotisserie chickens aren't sold by weight.
