I get rotisserie chickens pretty often for meal prep, but I’ve never seen chicken breasts like this. This stuff was inside the meat itself, not on the outside. Has anyone seen this before? I tried to scrap it off but the meat had this weird gelatinous texture and I ended up getting rid of it to be safe.

    That looks like some kind of fatty cyst to my. I’ve seen in various cuts of beef before, never chicken before though. The quality of US poultry has fallen through the goddamn floor.

    Brest implant to make it look bigger. Lol

    It looks like fat. Chickens are grown so fast now that sometimes weird shit happens. You can either cut it out or scrap the whole breast but it’s probably not dangerous.

    It looks like some sort of mysterious gravy

    My imagination came up with this- a gelatinous, pulpy substance formed at injection site of the chicken. Again, this was concocted from my imagination.

    Welcome to the modern worlds “Frankenchicken”. Grown so fast with hormones, they start to grow weirdly.

    It looks like it could be gummed up phosphates that got in between the breast and the tenderloin. I’ve heard rumors that rotisserie chickens are injected with phosphates and water for tenderness and moisture retention.

    I’ve injected chicken for competition before and messed up and it gummed up in the same spot. Only difference is it’s more orange/brown because that’s the color of most commercial injections.

    I could also be wrong as shit but just my thoughts 😂

    Costco rotisserie chicken has been having more of this over the years. A decade ago I could hardly catch an instance of cutting into the breast and seeing any of this. Now it’s a constant expectation and requires carving out. Some people probably eat it. Thinking it’s juicy or just like fat.

    My guess has always been it’s just water injections turning into slush. Either way it’s despicable.

  10. It’s the solution they shoot into the chicken that mixes with the fat. You probably don’t usually see it because there isn’t that much fat in the breast area. It’s to tenderize and ad weight to compensate for what cooks out.

    That chicken was actually a new mother that was breast feeding.

    I’d find out if they inject their chickens with any ingredients before putting them on the rotisserie
