Costco Canada is finally bringing the viral grilled chipotle chicken to its locations, announced June 25.
The fully cooked chicken comes in one-kilogram bags priced at $16.99 and is stocked in the prepared meal section near the rotisserie chicken. The product has drawn online buzz as a potential copycat of Chipotle Mexican Grill's grilled chicken, and shoppers say it's a quick protein addition to burritos, rice bowls, tacos, or quesadillas.
But opinions on quality are mixed. A B.C. content creator said the mix of chicken breast and rib meat left her with rubbery pieces, and she plans to return it. One Redditor said they'd rather buy rotisserie chicken and add their own seasoning.
Other shoppers have praised it. "This is really good. Almost like the chicken they put in the chicken taco kit," one wrote. A Winnipeg shopper called it "goooood" and worth the premium for the time saved, especially for those uncomfortable cooking.
