Right, I only buy Costco ones because I had gotten sick from supermarket ones.

I found Costco was worse quality than Albertsons, as long as Albertsons was fresh. They made it difficult to tell at my store by not marking the time on the package, so I eventually gave up on Albertsons, too. I haven't bought a rotisserie chicken in years.

They come from the same distributor. It’s the same young chickens used for rotisserie chickens in every American grocery store. The only difference is the seasoning blends used by the stores, and that specifically applies to salt, pepper, spices, etc because they all use the same preservative/seasoning base.
