Hidden Downsides of Walmart’s $4.98 Rotisserie Chicken

Walmart’s $4.98 rotisserie chicken seems like a budget-friendly, convenient meal—but there are serious reasons to think twice before buying it. From questionable sourcing to shrinkflation tricks, here’s what you need to know.

5 Reasons to Avoid Walmart’s Rotisserie Chicken

1. Smaller Size (Shrinkflation Strikes Again)

  • Walmart’s chickens weigh ~2 lbs, while competitors (Costco, Sam’s Club) average 3 lbs for the same price.

  • Result: You’re paying more per pound without realizing it.

2. Lower Quality Meat

  • Walmart sources chickens from factory farms with higher antibiotic use (vs. Costco’s USDA-inspected, no-antibiotics-ever policy).

  • Texture issues: Many report mushy, overly salty, or “watery” meat due to brining.


3. Higher Sodium & Preservatives
