So saw in costco packages of “hand pulled rotisery chicken” selling for $5.5/lb ($16 per package). I guess chickens that don’t sell they “disaasemble” and package it. Got me curious, Is it worth paying for hand pulled? how much meat is in a full chicken and average cost per lb?

So got one chicken, pulled myself, remove bones, skin and anything not pure meat…took about 5 minutes …and weighted. Total Weight was 2.1 lb … About $5 bucks/chicken… so $2.5/lb. The labor more than doubles the price. Do you want to pay >2x per pound for pre pulled?
