Breed of chicken

Breed of chicken - Close-up Photo of Ayam Cemani Chicken

My question has to deal with breed of chicken not really cooking, but my friends insist that those rotisserie chicken you often find sold at costco are overcooked and chicken not fresh thus the meat just "falls apart".

The chicken used for rotisserie's are of a different breed from the chicken you normally found at "Asian" Supermarket in NYC.

Anyone know what are the breed of chicken normally at at asian supermarket? The meat is more lean, than the rotisserie chicken.



Best Answer

I would argue that if the meat 'falls apart' it would be due largely to the cooking process used, and very little due to the choice of breed.

As other commentators have stated, there's probably a variety of chicken breeds used in Asian markets across the US - whether any of them use the same as Costco is anyone's guess.

My guess is that a rotisserie-chicken at a high-volume operation like Costco would error on the side of caution for food-safety reasons and cook it longer than it needed to
