With that in mind, how do we determine exactly what makes a rotisserie chicken the best? And who’s making the call based on that criteria?

To find out which rotisserie chicken is the best—or at least which one customers think is the best—The Takeout analyzed reviews from store websites, Reddit threads, and social media posts. They focused on the most commonly shared opinions, especially about taste, texture, availability, and consistency.

According to The Takeout and their report, 'The Ultimate Ranking of Grocery Store Rotisserie Chickens, According to Customers,' the top spot goes to the wholesale warehouse Sam’s Club. The Takeout had the following to say about their selection:

Head over to the Sam's Club website, and you'll find more than 32,000 ratings and a 4.7 out of 5-star rating. One of the biggest selling points was the size. It's possible to assemble a week of meals using one rotisserie chicken, and if that's your goal, you might want to head to Sam's Club.
