A bird from Sam\u2019s weighs in at a whopping 3 pounds, matching Costco\u2019s rotisserie chicken weight. Not only is size a factor, but flavor also plays a significant role. Reviews on Walmart\u2019s product page are hit or miss, with complaints about overcooked or undercooked chicken. In contrast, Costco consistently ranks highest in taste tests. Costco\u2019s super juicy and flavorful rotisserie chicken tops the charts, while Walmart\u2019s comes in last.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10200 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/american-info.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/yu5e-300x190-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One Reddit user noted, \u201cSam\u2019s rotisserie chickens crush Costco\u2019s rotisserie chickens every day of the week.\u201d However, Walmart does have an edge in one category\u2014their sodium content. For a 3-ounce serving, Walmart\u2019s rotisserie chicken contains 690 mg of sodium, slightly higher than Sam\u2019s Club at 550 mg, and Costco at 460 mg. Whole Foods offers a lower sodium option, with their rotisserie chicken containing just 280 mg of sodium per 1\/4 of a bird, making it a solid choice for those watching their sodium intake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to Walmart\u2019s rotisserie chicken, you might want to reconsider before grabbing another one.
