The Dark Secret Behind Grocery Store Rotisserie Chicken

Emma Keys

Used to Prevent Waste

01

Rotisserie chickens are often made from raw chicken nearing expiration—used to reduce store waste and maximize profits.

High Sodium Levels

02

These chickens are often injected with salty brines. One serving can contain over 500mg of sodium—well above healthy limits.

Artificial Flavor Boosters

03

Flavor enhancers like MSG, sugar, and yeast extract are added to intensify taste—yet not always clearly labeled.

Preservatives and Additives

04

Preservatives like phosphates and anti-caking agents are added to maintain appearance and extend shelf life.

Not as Fresh as They Look

05

Some chickens sit under heat lamps for hours. That fresh-cooked smell may come from added flavorings, not recent roasting.

Make a Smarter Choice

06

For healthier results, roast your own chicken at home—avoiding additives and controlling your ingredients and seasoning.
