Costco rotisserie chicken slammed in surprise new ranking — but one beloved NYC store has a lot to cluck about
It's hard to pass up a grocery store rotisserie chicken when it's inexpensive and can feed multiple mouths, especially in a time when grocery prices are through the roof. While people have their favorites, one TikToker named Johnny Novo (@jnov__) made it his mission to test and rank the household food staple from all different grocery stores — and shockingly Costco was not at the top of the list. People rave about Costco's $4.99 chicken — but Novo had other thoughts. Getty Images But luckily for New Yorkers, Novo ranked Fairway Market No. 1 on the list of the best tissi — as the content creator calls it — with a 9.1 rating. 'Fairways $9.99 Latin seasoned tissi flooded my comments…this is looking phenomenal,' the self-claimed chicken expert said in his video, trying and rating the New York City supermarket's creation. He said the seasoning was 'fantastic' and it wasn't dry at all. He raved about the almost too charred looking skin on the outside of the breast. 'This might be the best grocery store rotisserie chicken I've had… it's giving some restaurant's chicken a run,' he said mid-bite. Healthy grocer, Sprouts and beloved Wegmans rounded out the top 3 on this tissi list — with 8.6 and 8.5 ratings. It's hard to pass up a grocery store rotisserie chicken when it's inexpensive and can feed multiple mouths, especially in a time when grocery prices are through the roof. RobertCoy – Sprouts supposedly has three different flavors of their chicken, according to Novo but he taste tested their pollo asado option — which he described as having soggy skin but that didn't stop him from chowing down on it and going on about how well it's seasoned. Wegmans' chicken — which was Novo's first review in his taste testing series — said their $9.99 chicken 'fell off the bone' warranting it an 8.5 rating. Whole Foods' $8.99 chicken came in ninth place because, although the skin looked crispy, Novo said it also looked dry even before taking a bite — but that assumption was confirmed once he actually ate it. The pricey store's chicken was given a 7.75. And much to many people's surprise — Costco's $4.99 tissi came in 10th place. The wholesale giant — whose been consistent with their bird's $4.99 price tag since 2009, according to Novo — received a 7.5 rating. Novo said the chicken was moist, but it was certainly lacking in the flavor department. 'No one's going to eat this chicken and be blown away,' he concluded. Here are the 10 best rotisserie chickens 1. Fairway Market, 9.1 2. Sprouts, 8.6 3. Wegmans, 8.5 4. Jubilee Market, 8.4 5. Acme. 8.3 6. Walmart, 8.2 7. Citarella, 7.9 8. Westside Market, 7.8 9. Whole Foods, 7.75 10. Costco, 7.5 Although shoppers might want to ditch Costco's chicken after hearing this ranking — something new the wholesale store is doing is allowing customers to 'buy now, pay later' with Affirm for their purchases. However, the rule is that customers can only use this feature on big purchases — ones that range from $500 to $17,500. 'As summer approaches, we're seeing more consumers turn to Affirm to prepare for the season ahead—whether it's outdoor entertaining essentials, like a new barbecue or patio furniture, a storage shed, or a new set of appliances,' Affirm official Pat Suh declared in an announcement released on Wednesday.
