My go-to $5 rotisserie chicken trick backfired when the store changed suppliers last Tuesday

Picked up my usual chicken at the Fred Meyer on Broadway and found it was nearly a pound lighter and $1.50 more expensive, so now I'm hunting for a new budget protein hack around here has anyone else noticed this swap?

Oh wow, I actually haven't noticed that yet... maybe it depends on which Fred Meyer you go to. The one on Hawthorne still seems to have the same size chickens, at least the last time I grabbed one. I'm not sure the new supplier is all bad though, I've found the meat on these smaller ones is way more tender and doesn't dry out as fast when I reheat it. You might want to check the weight next time you pick one up, sometimes they just bag them weird and it looks smaller than it really is.

Did you weigh them to check or just eyeball it?
