Rotisserie Chicken

[George K]

I walked down to the grocery store to pick up some staples and a rotisserie chicken for tonight's dinner.

I saw that in addition to the usual "Wonder Roast" chicken they had a new brand - some kind of Amish-branded chicken.

I asked the girl at the deli counter what the difference was, and she told me that the Amish is "cage-free" "free-range" chicken and has no, zero, nada antibiotics in its feed - EVER!!

I told her, "Thank you, but you forgot to mention one more difference - $5.00."

She laughed and said, "Yeah. As a matter of fact if you go to the meat counter, the rotisserie chicken is cheaper than if you make it yourself.

She was right.

Easier too. Next up? Wagyu chickens!

At Costco it’s $4.99. The rotisserie chicken is almost as holy as their $1.50 hotdog and coke. Tasty as hell, but so full of who knows what that I don’t have it more than 3-4 times a year.

Now… Do you have any Peruvian Chicken places around you? That’s worth eating.

[Mik]

Peruvian chicken? Do tell.

I paid $9.99. $5 savings is not enough for me to drive to Costco, park, etc.

Our grocery store is 533 feet away, door to door.

Got a recipe - NYT and have ordered the required chile pastes. Jon, maybe your beloved could share?

Not really sensible. "Wagyu" literally means "Japanese beef."

[Mik]

FFS.

She makes fun of me when I use a recipe. She just ‘makes’ it.

But yeah, pollo a la brasa is a staple for her.

I will say this - she loves my Peruvian green sauce. Which I do make from a recipe. And I’ve been making it for a decade or more.

Cough it up, son!

I make something similar for Green Lightning Shrimp. Great stuff.

[Mik]

Found it.

That’s one thing I miss from Virginia, some really good Peruvian chicken places. Tasty chicken, not a word of English, amazing green sauce…. Damn. Mouth is watering.

[Mik]

How spicy do they make it?

No Costco here. I do the Sam's for $4.98. Great for gumbo.

I’ll post mine a little later. I make my own Aji Amarillo Sauce. I also make a drip pan potatoes underneath.

Medium? I’m a wimp with spicy hot stuff but I enjoyed it. For example, jalapeño or buffalo wing sauce is about as spicy as I’ll eat.
