Homemade Costco $4.99 chicken 🍗

Disclaimer: this is a funny video- nothing more, nothing less. I did not eat this chicken. This is a demonstration of the industrial processing steps used in mass-produced rotisserie chickens. Costco is not literally soaking the chicken in bleach- they source cheap chickens that have gone through a similar, low-concentration chlorine bath (a practice that’s banned in the EU). They’re also not using industrial cleaner TSP for the trisodium phosphate, they’re using a food-grade equivalent. Chlorine washes, brine injections, and food additives like TSP, carrageenan, and modified starches are all approved for use in food. This video does not claim that eating Costco’s rotisserie chicken will directly harm you. It’s meant to shed light on how highly processed even “simple” foods can be- especially when mass-produced for consistency, cost-cutting, and shelf stability. When food additives or food-grade plastic are described as “safe,” remember that we often lack long-term studies on their full effects. While these ingredients may be “generally recognized as safe” in small amounts, I personally see no benefit in consuming them at all. At the end of the day, eat what you want- but be informed about what you’re actually eating.

Did you really just waste a chicken for your video?

I appreciate the sentiment but the villian is the wrong target in my opinion. A $5 Costco rotisserie chicken is a nutritionally superior choice when compared to other ultra-processed or fast food options. Don't let this video bum you out if you enjoy the Costco bird and you don't have the time or money to cook a $30 organic bird from scratch. Food science & technology makes options like this viable to millions, and that's a good thing!

Love these videos keep them up!

spend $5 to feed your family or listen to this pretentious fuck trying to preach us to buy $80 dollar chicken from Erwhon

American food is atrocious.

Finally. A white boy using bleach. Thats proper seasoning mmhmm

if this cannot be proven, hope @Costco sues you for every penny!

That's not how brining works lol

He’s kidding right

I knew i wasn't crazy for eating bleach

Yikes!
