Slow Cooking (The Crockpot)

The Crockpot has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. Here’s a look at the key milestones in the evolution of this beloved kitchen appliance: 1936: The story of the Crockpot begins with Irving Naxon (born Irving Nachumsohn), who filed for a patent for a slow-cooking device designed to cook beans. 1940: Naxon’s patent is granted for his “Cooking Apparatus,” laying the…

a life-changing food option a good friend introduced to me that i officially adore:

potatoes in chili.

#i have no personal history of loving any specific kind of chili #nor arbitrary regional loyalties to this specific dish #therefore any alteration i make is in service of Tasty crockpot Meal With Cheap Ingredients #(tomato based and spiced with cumin among others) #and my husband hates beans but chili still needs to be cheap #so! potatoes!!! also lentils he will tolerate those #and i also like corn in chili myself so i put that in too #also an onion and a little ground beef. #this time i put in liquid that wasn't just tomato sauce #it was the turkey stock i made a few weeks ago #and tbh this chili is fantastic i just wish it had more chunky stuff in it #(aka more potatoes and lentils and corn) #this would be damn good Friday chili if I hadn't put the beef in

Me, during the staff holiday party in the library: I am filled with joy.

Me, after the staff holiday party in the library, when everyone abandons their food/dishes: I am filled with rage.

Staff Team-building Host: Okay, tell your partner who your favorite villain from any media is.

History Teacher: Macbeth. He’s timeless. You can put him in any sort of time period and people could relate. You?

Me: Michael Rosenbaum’s portrayal of Lex Luthor in Smallville. *finger guns*

#it took me two hours to clean up #but it was a trade off for not having to set up I guess #I ummm put two crockpots in the fridge like the entire thing I hope I didnt ruin them #I am not wise or sophisticated #also my Lex answer generated a lot of excitement from a different history teacher I was shocked she understood so HOORAY #work

This afternoon I’m having an english muffin and working on a fanfic and thinking about the shared volus-elcor embassy.

Because the shared office wasn’t the way things always were.

The volus were the third species to find the Citadel. At that time, this enormous, miraculous ancient space station had plenty of room for everyone to share. Even if the asari and salarians balked at the volus’ environmental requirements, the Keepers would have happily converted large sections of the station to accommodate the new arrivals— it’s their job to encourage aliens to settle there, after all...

Centuries pass, and more aliens start showing up, and they want to settle on the Citadel, too. As fate would have it, all of them are adapted to a thin nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere incompatible with volus biology. And of course, the Keepers accommodate them by re-allocating some of the station’s space. They depressurize volus residential and commercial areas, refill them with alien air, adjust the height of ceilings and doors; they leave no trace, as unsentimental as they are efficient. It’s only fair, of course, and the volus still have some neighborhoods left, but it still stings every time those green things come around and start knocking down the walls. Every time the volus are made to cede territory to aliens without argument.

Imagine you’re the volus ambassador in the year the first elcor ambassador is officially appointed. You know all of this history. It’s a familiar story: your people are strong and successful, but they’ve also experienced sacrifice and dismissal. They’ve been rejected from a seat on the Council for over a thousand years, despite proving their worth over and over again. They’ve held tenaciously onto the power they’ve won, but everything has strings attached. Your people have to be clever and quick, on the bleeding edge of galactic economic and political trends— for a people regarded as not physically adept, they’re keeping a lot of plates spinning. You’re the volus ambassador, and you come into work one day and your colleagues tell you, oh, you’re going to be sharing your office from now on.

With the elcor.

The elcor, who have only just established a regular route to the Citadel three hundred years* after first contact, who consider that bold and speedy. The elcor, still in that honeymoon just-happy-to-be-here phase of galactic integration. The elcor, who live in scattered countryside settlements instead of cities, who care little for trade because they already produce everything their citizens need. The elcor, governed by a council of elders who discuss old laws and historical precedents in patient circles until a fair and respectful consensus is reached or everyone involved has died of old age, leaving a new generation to pick up the debate. Elcor C-SPAN is the biggest snoozefest on galactic television.

And now one of these rustic, ponderous hippies has been given half of your office.

Of course, the elcor ambassador probably thinks this is super awkward too, but you’re the volus ambassador; you’re not thinking about that. You’re steamed. Your exosuit is doubling as a crockpot. You have to sit there at your desk and do e-mails like everything is fine while on the inside you’re simmering like buffalo chicken dip on game day, and you know: no matter how many top economists and businessvol your people produce, you’re never getting the respect you deserve. 

And you’re never getting that Council seat.

*in ME1, Calyn proudly tells Shepard that the elcor established a regular route to the Citadel “within one lifetime”. Later official media giving the elcor a 400-year lifespan makes this line, in retrospect, extremely funny.

GERMINATION: greeting the world

Introductions are the worst part of meeting new people. Having to think about making a good impression - reading whether or not you gauged correctly, not realizing when you've missed the mark. It's the culmination of the worst part of being of a social species. Trying to move from the other to becoming part of the group. It means Kel knows from the first moment of consciousness that today will be Rough. Luckily the crockpot did its job and there's fresh minestrone for his thermos. Less luckily, half the soup spills on the way to the car.

It's just another blemish on an already rough morning. Kel hasn't had a reaction to any sort of mental influence like this in so many years that they're not the only one caught off guard. Someone will figure out how to mitigate the fog - they can already hear chatter about it in the group, which is much more attention-grabbing than poor Kato. Nice guy, but maybe there will be a better second impression. One that sticks.

And then every thing that needs to go wrong will - apparently the camera used to take the first ID photo wasn't the proper model, or was missing whatever coating the Foundation used in the past to take his ID photos. But the security department needs a new one. Kel can't blame them - if they were a guard and someone handed over a picture of a flower arrangement as a security card, he wouldn't let them in either.

The one in charge seems just the type the commission would pick, observant, experienced, just friendly enough to inspire some level of loyalty. Small flashes of the man in action - usually from a distance, add depth and color to his form, old memories overlaid on a fresh face. They fall into place for some of the others in the room as well, though at least one face is so familiar there's nothing new to learn at a glance.

"Good morning," Kel bobs a nod at their new boss in an attempt to be less... ominously looming, and gives him a perfectly average handshake before moving towards a seat in the back. Then it's time for the parade. And what a show it is. The team is clearly hand picked for something, but even Kel can tell that more than a few people have history of some sort and still others won't mesh well despite the rigid hold an MTF's commander usually has. For at least one that might actually be the problem.

There is something to be said about going in the middle of a set though. Avoiding the nerves of being the first, but also knowing you aren't the last first impression somehow relieves some of the pressure. Or at least it does for Kel. It's easiest to see everything from the metaphorical middle of the pack anyways.

"My turn then?" They smile quickly and straighten up before swallowing down the worst of the brogue they'd never gotten rid of. "Some of you may already know me as Kel or Engineer Trebond, but I guess I'm going by Garden Variety here. Bit of a nod to my hometown, I think. Small place, big on uh... agriculture. I've been working in the foundation research divisions almost 3 decades now. My work's mostly in the actual building of things, more practical application and testing than the theoretical stuff, so I'm a bit excited to see how these things actually run in the field. Fun fact, um..." He sits back in his chair, smile turning nervous. "I'm 209 centimeters tall. Yes, really. Oh I think that's six foot.... ten inches? Math might be a bit off, but I'm past the threshold where people try to say it makes a difference. Anyways - if you need me, send me a page. I like to wander and this campus seems a bit large, so it's better to not pass each other while searching."

And with that, the worst was over. The members of the team grow more and more interesting as they go down the list, but maybe that's just the relaxed nerves speaking.

i took a nap earlier while my oldest watched brittney m. crockpot and cupid so i could stay up tonight and watch them, just in case. we've never let a hen raise a chick before so i'm a little paranoid, especially since cupid means a lot to me.

but she's doing so good. she's such a sweet mama and it makes me tear up, especially knowing her history.

also cluck decided not to be broody now so i think i made the right choice in which hen i picked.

#and i'm writing rivals duo!! yay!! #but yeah cluck gives the vibes of a chicken with even more adhd than normal and she has a habit of breaking eggs she tries to sit on sooooo #loyal talks about stuff and things

let’s have 2 &17 for the ask game please ✨

2. If you put all your fics into a crockpot, what would be the resulting soup?

Literally just a British gentile's attempt at dafina, doomed from the start by putting it in a crockpot in the first place, but Sirius is trying, damn it. Remus appreciates the effort anyway. Hope Lupin is in the corner having a fucking stroke.

17. Assign each one of your fics (or a selection of them) a cryptid.

ocho kandelikas - a golem

history books - the jersey devil

marginalia - whatever the hell is going on in the appalachian mountains

there is freedom in the dark - a werekraken (that's for you, @lynxindisguise)

Goofy's Goobers

From Mickey's Revue

The History

In 1932, Mickey's Revue introduced an important character to the Disney mythos, Dippy Dawg, also known as Goofy.

The loveable anthromorphic canine is seen in the audience, sporting his iconic laugh while also munching on a bag of peanuts.

Goofy would go through several revisions as Disney refined the character from a one note joke into one of the most multifaceted characters in animation.

However, his love of peanuts would always remain. In fact, in the comics, Goofy gains superman like powers from radioactive peanuts that he eats in order to become his alter ego Super Goof.

The Food

Now whether these peanuts that he eats in the short are raw, roasted, or boiled is never stated on screen. However, since I'll be covering roasted peanuts later on for Dumbo, and since raw peanuts are not a recipe, and because as a southerner, I just simply prefer them; I'll be covering a classic boiled peanut recipe.

Ingredients

1 pound raw peanuts in the shell

1/4 cup kosher salt

4 cups water

Cookware

Large stockpot

Directions

Thoroughly rinse raw unshelled peanuts in water.

Put water, salt, seasoning, and peanuts in a large stockpot, and bring to a boil.

Cover and reduce the heat just enough to maintain a low boil. Boil for 2 to 3 hours or longer, until peanuts reach desired level of softness.

Drain and eat.

A couple of notes: The salt and water are estimates. You may need more. Use the measurements to start and taste as you go long. Add more as needed.

Secondly you can add other seasonings to change the flavor if you want. Salt is just the classic base. Feel free to experiment with things like garlic, onion, chilli, or Cajun seasoning to give a few ideas.

Finally, the stockpot will work just fine, but if you want to leave the peanuts cooking overnight I would recommend using a crockpot instead.

And there you have it, Goofy's Goobers. But we're not done yet with Mickey's Revue. Next we'll be talking about Goofy's much less popular rival Horace Horsecollar.

I have gotten more chill about it but when I was young it distressed me to go to the bookstore with other people because they DID IT WRONG. They’d spend like $15+ on a hardcover of some book they’d never read because it looked interesting and I was cringing because that’s not how you do it? The LIBRARY is for picking up pretty things that look interesting and AFTER you decide that you like it/the author/the series THEN you tell your mother and she adds it to the little folded up master list that she carries in her purse and you all go to the Big Half Price Books and are assigned different sections and she tells you that we need numbers 3, 7, and 12 of X series and we still need copies of X Volumes of the History of Middle Earth but specifically the ones with the watercolor covers because that’s the set we haven’t filled out yet and then you look for the books off the list and you inspect them to find the least damaged copy and make sure it’s marked down enough and then they get added to the family library in the appropriate room because there are four different rooms with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and the adult books all go at the top of the stairs and the reference/nonfiction books all go on the shelf by the family room and the biographies and self-help books are in the crafts area and the kids books are all in your brother’s room and THEN they also need to go on the appropriate shelf because the kid’s books are organized by genre so it’s not like you’re going to put a REDWALL book by NANCY DREW or something and this whole thing was an all-day affair so after you eat a crockpot-cooked meal you heave a sigh of relief and settle down to read Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH for the 60th time because you have a crush on Justin. The Rat

Anyway I’m glad my parents weren’t sports people or something but then again maybe I would have been diagnosed way sooner

#autism stuff #more or less #shoutout to my mom for being #honestly very brain about this stuff #at one point she had an excel database with all the books we owned categorized by author m #publish date genre etc #then we bought too many books and couldn’t keep it up #about me #also. there were 4 distinct Half Price Books that I remember cycling through

Wurmple anon! I have been BUSY and i know i just missed sunday but 👏 Echo has many folks to teach her to cook. Tulip is decent but crockpot or ready made meals is typically all she has time for. Team Crossroads tho have many mouths to feed so they teach Echo how to make stuff from leftovers and to not fear the oven! Echo has several burns on her hands and arms cause they forgot to warn her about oven safety. Dont grab without an oven mitt! She has tried fighting the oven but didnt get far lol

OH team crossroads and team skull should meet up to do a big cookout or barbecue in Po Town!! they would be able to cook twice as much and I bet everyone would have a great time since they’re both chaotic good!!!

FLJSDHFKJ REMINDS ME OF THAT POST, LET ME FIND IT

THIS ONE

oh, it’s been two weeks since you sent this, have you finished the Spear Pillar fights yet? 😳😳😳

YEAH I was a music major, Dies Irae is one of the few things I do remember from my dreaded 2 years of music history classes and you’re so right it is LITERALLY everywhere!! 😂😂😂

But, I’m actually not sure if it shows up explicitly in Lavender Town?? since Dies Irae is basically “me-re-me-do (-re-te-do-do)” but Lavender Town’s background is something closer to “le-me-so-re“ (in the original key of E minor, it’s C-G-B-F# compared to Dies Irae in the same key which would be G-F#-G-E)

and the main melody is “me-do-me-re-do-so-(lower) la” (starting with G-E-G-F#-E) -- it’s kind of like, backwards dies irae?? with a passing tone in there 🤔🤔🤔

ANYWAYS I digress, the more important thing is:

FSKJDFH it could be that dies irae is a universal constant because the Unown liked it so much that they weaved it directly into the world!! professor tulip totally has her work cut out for her, I wonder if she would have wanted a Sound type classification for moves instead of just calling them Normal? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

as for me I think I just heard the “mm whatcha say” song at that point 😂😂😂

#oceandi answers #anonymous #echo #others' ocs #long post #ignore my music analysis I pulled out the virtual piano to triple check my own solfege 😂😭😂 #also I know gregorian chants were modal and using solfege isn't like EXACTLY accurate to those since they're based on specific notes and don #don't have a movable 'do' (which is. so stupid movable do is the most useful tool ever and I never memorized the modes correctly 🙄🙄🙄) #BUT it #s close enoug #h #more on that. actually. bc i'm sick #as a treat #modes are SO important to blues and jazz and I wish I had memorized them well but like jesus christ I hate memorizing them so much skjdfsjdk #oh you want me to remember what the difference is between the 3 different ones that have 'dorian' in the name?? ? ?? well too bad yes I'm a #professional YES I still say 'FACE' to remember the spaces of a staff if I'm forced to think about it

Every rooster that pulled this crap on me ended up in my crockpot.

[thevegetablewhichnoonedaresname]

a couple weeks ago I went into a BoxLunch for the first time in my life and saw one of the funniest things I've seen in recent history (a My Hero Academia crockpot on sale), only for my excitement to be slightly dampened because no one seemed to think it was as hilarious as I did. Fast forward to today, where I'm listening to podcasts on my commute and Justin McElroy offhandedly mentions going to BoxLunch and seeing a My Hero Academia slow cooker and the other two laugh and suddenly I'm feeling so so validated and also questioning my sense of humor a little bit

Shamira lost 31 pounds

New Post has been published on https://eazydiet.net/shamira-lost-31-pounds/

Shamira lost 31 pounds

Transformation of the Day: Shamira lost 31 pounds. She realized that her unhealthy eating habits and constant fatigue had to go. She transformed physically, mentally, and emotionally by embracing a healthier lifestyle.

Social Media: Shamira R. Williams (Facebook)  shamirarwilliams (TikTok) @MyraJR87 (Instagram)

What was your motivation? After my divorce, I picked up some really bad eating habits. You could catch me in McDonald’s drive-thru at least three days a week or eating moon pies and full-course meals around 9 pm at night. 

I went to a doctor’s visit, and when the doctor told me I was over 200 pounds, I almost fell slam out! Everyone told me I looked good. However, I did not FEEL good. I wanted to feel better in the mornings and during the day. I was tired of feeling fatigued, and tired of being tired and feeling tired. 

What inspired you to keep going, even when you wanted to give up? I knew a healthier lifestyle would transform me physically, mentally, and emotionally…and it did! My family has a history of diabetes and hypertension, and I was (and still am) determined to break that cycle and make myself and my family proud. I am so grateful! 

How did you change your eating habits? I stopped frying foods, so my meats were either baked or cooked in the Crockpot. I incorporated more greens into my diet and cooked brown rice instead of white. I cook everything in olive oil. I see a nutritionist every six weeks, and my insurance pays for 12 visits yearly. I do not restrict myself from any foods that I like. I still love a juicy ribeye once or twice a month! 

What is your workout routine? I pull up Leslie Sansone on YouTube and walk four days a week in my living room. I occasionally walk 3 miles on Saturdays and rest on Sundays. 

What was your starting weight? 210 pounds. I am now 179 pounds. 

What is your height? 5 feet, 7 inches tall.

When did you start your journey? March 2023

How long did your transformation take? One year.

Is weight loss surgery part of your journey? I did not do weight loss surgery. However, it’s a blessing that’s an option for those that need that extra push! 

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far? I have to give myself the same grace God gives me, and it is okay to fall off…as long as I pick myself up. That’s what really matters and what makes me human. I also know that I can achieve anything. With God, anything is possible! Whew, God is GOOD, y’all! 

What advice do you have for women who want to lose weight?/

Have tunnel vision during your weight loss journey, and block out anything and anyone that will deter you from your goals. Do not give up. I repeat, do NOT give up!!! Keep going, and if you mess up, PLEASE give yourself grace and start back over.

[krockat]

hi i was randomly reading tags late at night on videos, and i saw yours you added onto https:// www dot tumblr dot com/krockat / 726501511214022656 a while back asking for the source of the music and not sure if you ever figured it out so apologies if you did, but its part of the ost from the anime black butler, not a game! but if someone did use it in a game i hope you find it too!

ouffh..... anon........

see... in that post in those very tags you speak of.. . I.. i did promise i would give plenty praise and love to those who would help solve my mystery.....

and you did nothing wrong anon.

you are a beacon of light, a shining example of a person just randomly going out of their way to be a nice little light-shedder-on-er-er, while prev just doing some'n simple n pleasurable (as pleasurable as the mixed crockpot of reading random strangers tags Can be) for themself.

but.. lemme tell you.... this is rough news.

to have a rare glance of something so similar to this great (i mean no, the quality of said game itself might be questionable, but a great soundtrack and alternative Weirdness and nostalgia of a seemingly never discussed old playstation game relic of my memory lossy past - it is despite it all quite great a) mystery -

it was so hopeful and enticing!

and then i learned.. and then i learned.. it was actually from my number one enemy-anime Black Butler!!

you see, black butler and I have history.

apart from it being a creepy show where two adult demons thirst for a child boy (that for some further context also had an unfairly banger ost that deep inspired my youth), it was, infact, and here comes an actual Real trigger warning for the content ahead:

.

.

warning you, here it comes! the tags will have what specific triggers this is about.

.

.

a tool used in grooming me.

so, while i really am grateful for your kind message and explanation - to find that this music that was so similar to what i remember from the soundtrack of the game - was actually from that show? Oh real unfortunate. just realllll unfortunate.

lemme tell ya when i woke up to read i got a notif w the beginning premise that someone had figured out this mystery song - meaning also maybe the coveted mystery game?

even barely awake and conscious as i was, and just really there initially wanting to check what time it was, because my alarm certainly hadn't called yet and the darkness seeping from my curtained window spoke of other promises -

and when then i ofc immediately opened that shit up and was left face to face with the reality of KROCKAT ENEMY-ANIME NUMBER ONE - ?

oh i knew it was gonna be a special kind of day.

so, sorry for no earlier reply but i was put into a certain state of reflection these last couple days.

and it's been interesting, actually

which might sound a tad bit morbid to those inclined,

but well you know us Aquarius Suns(TM) Hahoo - who often find morbid and sad stuff fun and entertaining to think about and toss and turn around like an old sausage in a corporate bodega hot revolver grill. just a lil interest in that

it actually got me to get into a creatory headspace. thinking about all that shit.

so yea pretty good now, but the first hour of gripping w that? yeah. idk how or that i would or could or would want to explain perhaps why or how or in what way that little fact did affect me.

but. you've still done me a great service. and i intend to make good on that reward i did promise whoever would solve my inquiry.

thank you you kind little folk! very very nice of you to come in to my ask and give me answers! you seem like a nice type.

...

but yes a post this long and involved (?) does got to have an end, and one useful trick to end things you don't know how to end is to put music at the end of whatever it is.

now, Best ending would be to have the music of the Actual game's ost i was talking about. but i still don't know what the game is.

Worst ending is probably just that bl*ck b*tler song that baited me (yes i am now "blurring" it out as this is the end part of the post that's meant to end as a reprieve)

and not to say that would necessarily be a bad way to end the post. hells, it might be the interesting (♒🌞) way to conclude this post.

but i think i will just leave you with this.

(sorry that it is a link to spotify. and that it is a from a corporate-y compilation album. and w songs i haven't vetted. i had no choice in what release it was. do you still like me)

(here also comes a youtube link. )

Whole Foods Rotisserie Chicken Review

Rotisserie chickens are some of the most inexpensive, versatile weeknight dinner items, and it’s been in our meal rotation every week or as long as I can remember. Whether you want to put a quick meal on the table or use it in several different dishes over a few days, this pre-prepped chicken is a healthy option. Packed with protein, B vitamins, minerals, and collagen, it’s ready for pickup at most of your local grocery stores. One of the best-tasting rotisserie chickens is sold by Whole Foods as antibiotic-free, hormone-free, so let’s explore this option more in our Whole Foods Rotisserie Chicken review. 

History and Inspiration

While consumer demand for rotisserie chickens seems to be growing, it’s not a new trend. Stores in the 1960s often had chickens rotating on a spit throughout the day, so customers could come in and pick up a ready-made dinner. In the 1990s, national chains like Costco and Whole Foods began buying chickens to pre-cook and sell for less than fresh chicken. Whole Foods works to keep the price of rotisserie chickens down, even as raw chicken prices fluctuate. Now it’s one of the top-selling items at Whole Foods.

Types of Whole Foods Rotisserie Chicken

Rotisserie chickens used to be sold plain or with salt and pepper. As customers began asking for more variety, Whole Foods began rolling out new flavors each month, like Turkish seasonings, a Nordic-style chicken, miso-tamari, and even one with Ethiopian spices. While this is only available at select locations, the three more consistent varieties are Original, Barbeque, and herb & Lemon. At Whole Foods, you can also purchase rotisserie chickens with a plate of veggies, rice, and noodles, offering lots of meal solutions for customers on the go. 

Whole Foods Rotisserie Chicken Review

Whole Foods’ rotisserie chicken usually comes near the top of the list of consumer-favorites, mostly because it’s responsibly raised, fed a vegetarian diet. It’s also free of antibiotics, hormones, artificial colors, and preservatives. But besides that, how does the flavor compare to some of the others out there? 1.      Taste and Texture Whole Foods’ rotisserie chicken is at the top of my list of favorites in flavor, texture, and nutrition. I enjoy each of the rubs I’ve tried, but the original chicken is best for me to use in various other dishes. The skin is a bit crispy, but I don’t eat much of it. The chicken is juicy and tender, and it falls apart easily with a fork. Some chickens from other supermarkets taste like they’ve been sitting out a while, and they can taste dried out, but Whole Foods does a great job at keeping their rotisserie chickens tasting fresh. Be sure to keep it straight up and down, and don’t tip it over or the juices at the bottom of the tray make a big mess. 

2. Are they healthy? First, Whole Foods’ rotisserie chicken is free of antibiotics, hormones, artificial colors, and preservatives. It’s full of protein, the nutrient that helps build tissues, muscles, bones, and organs. A 4-ounce serving is a perfect amount to support muscle growth, and it contains small amounts of iron, calcium, and vitamin A.  But depending on how it’s seasoned, the chicken may be incredibly high in sodium, and the skin is high in saturated fat. I’d recommend not eating the skin (but I do use it for flavoring in my bone broth).  3. Are they Worth it? Besides the fact that the Rotisserie chicken can be eaten as it is, it can also be used in tons of different meals. I purchase one per week and shred it for some of our favorite meals like homemade chicken noodle soup, chicken tacos, chicken salads, chicken sandwiches, and chicken enchiladas. I also cook all of the bones in a crockpot for 24 hours to make bone broth, which I use in my soups. Rotisserie chickens are versatile, tasty, and inexpensive, and I can stretch it across more meals than a package of boneless skinless chicken. It’s definitely worth it. Final Verdict Rotisserie chickens can also be stored in the fridge for about four days, which is plenty of time to use them in your favorite meals. My tips for choosing a chicken in Whole Foods are as follows: pick one that hasn’t been sitting under the heat table for too long; choose one without the rubs or flavors to cut down on sodium; and if Whole Foods is running their 2 for $15 sale, grab two!

Whole Foods Rotisserie Chicken Pricing 

Most grocery stores sell their spit-roast rotisserie chickens for less than their whole, raw chickens, so price-wise, you’ll be saving money. Plus, it’s already cooked, so you’ll save time as well. A one-pound rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods can cost around $9.99, but in some locations, you may find one for $7.99. This is more expensive than some of the warehouse club chickens, like Costo. Their rotisserie chickens cost around $4.99 for a three-pounder. Maybe Whole Foods’ option is more expensive because the meat is organic and antibiotics-free, but at least you have options.
