These aren’t properly prepared chickens. They are McChickens. They are fast food that is full of artificial crap to make it taste good.

I literally used to make these. It was my fucking job to make them. They are literally just the whole chickens sold in the deli, the package removed, seasoned with a mixture of things like paprika, garlic salt, pepper, cumin, etc, rubbed down by a worker, and stuck into a rotisserie heater.

That's it. That is literally it. They're not manufactured any different. You could make the same thing at home for twice the cost since the cooked chickens are cheaper than the raw chickens. There is nothing devious or sinister behind the scenes. There are no extra hormones or microchips stuck into them. I was asked to go grab X amount of chickens from the shelf, season them, cook them, then put them in their containers and put them on display.

Your ability to make a mountain out of a grain of sand needs to be studied for how unhinged some human beings are.

Again, you worked for Hannaford. That's a higher quality more expensive store. You worked for one store under one process, YEARS ago no doubt.

Practices change. Food science changes. etc. It's not sinister, it's business. It's objectively the fact that store bought chickens from Coscto and the like are full of fillers.

I did? That's news to me. Can't say I've ever heard of them before. I worked for fucking Wal Mart. Also you said earlier in this thread that YEARS ago no one made rotisserie cooked chicken.

So it's clearly obvious you're a troll, an idiot, or just trying to shit on people struggling just to make it to tomorrow just so your pathetic emptiness has someone to look down on so you can feel better about how utterly shit your own life is. And if the latter is true, I don't feel sorry for you.
