Grocery store rotisserie chicken is a delicious and affordable way to add protein to your shopping excursion, and there's arguably no better option than Costco's rotisserie chicken (it took the top spot in our ranking of grocery store rotisserie chickens, after all).

One has not experienced true joy until they have nailed a tray of beautifully cooked-medium burgers.
