Set it and forget it!
In Japan, it’s KFC, that runs the rotisserie game. Around Christmas, they advertise Rotisserie Chicken for $50. The whole year round, the grocery stores don’t sell whole chickens but right before Christmas, they had two. I’d always wait a couple days till they were marked down in price and buy them. Most Japanese don’t know what to do with a whole chicken but I had a showtime rotisserie. Yum yum! Been divorced twice. First appliance after the divorce was a showtime rotisserie. $50 for a bird, get outta here.

My grandfather had a rotisserie that hooked to a regular charcoal grill. The chicken he cooked with that was amazing. At the time (1980s) he was probably paying a few bucks for the chicken, lol. $50 is crazy.

My only complaint is that the birds seem to have shrunk over the years. It's like when KFC has a bucket special, the pieces are smaller than usual.

In the late 90s and early 00s, smoked chicken was sold as fast food in small kiosks/pavilions in Russia. And sometimes in separate stores that specialized exclusively in chicken. These pavilions could be found almost everywhere: near transport stops, on squares and alleys in the city center, near parks. It sold especially well near train stations, as it was a convenient food for those arriving in the city, for those leaving it, for those making a stop along the way, and for taxi drivers who literally stood there day and night near the station, calling with signs and shouting for a ride.

Thank you very much I appreciate it

In the early 90s, I was stationed in Southern Italy, in the village I lived in. There was a rotisserie chicken restaurant. What was really awesome that small whole potato roasting below the rotating chickens. They were covered in the chicken grease. I was a young Airman, bachelor and worked long hours. So at least twice a week I'd stop and get either 1/2 or whole bird for dinner.
I never really had a COSTCO or Sam's membership, but I do remember the roasters showing up in my local market.

Rotisserie chicken from Costco is super economical. I make Chicken Pho from the leftover bones at a rate of 1L water for each whole carcass (skin/leg bones, thigh bones, wings too). For the meat, just get another bird. We buy the rotisserie, debone the chicken, toss the bones in the freezer to save until we get enough to make at least 4L of broth (4 chickens worth of bones), buy more rotisserie for the breast meat to serve with the Pho. The broth is full of collagen. Truly fulfilling at a fraction of the cost vs restaurant Chicken Pho. Everything is done in an Instapot to boot, no hassle.

I am not sure about other supermarkets. But the one I used to work for, a huge supermarket chain in Canada known for being cheap, they use fresh chicken from a major meat company. The chicken's quality is higher than the one they sold on the shelf, I don't know why they used an expensive one of the rotisserie. So I don't buy the idea of stores using almost expired chicken to make rotisserie chicken. In addition, the volume of the rotisserie chicken is so high, that there is no way enough expired birds can supply.

Someone who knows someone who works at Costco, told me they also make zero profit on the gas they sell, keeping it so cheap to lure more customers in. I love Costco! they also treat their employees relatively well, and have pretty high standards for quality. I've noticed this myself, and my hunch was validated when my dentist told me if I get a water pick, to only get one from Costco vs a pharmacy, Target or elsewhere, (even those from the same brand), because they do research on their products to make sure they are selling the best ones.

In Malaysia, we still have Kenny Rogers Roasters, they're still around in South East Asia. (correction: Phillipines also have them too)
But similarly, roasted chicken pricing war is also happening over here with a corporate farm using loss leader strategy to sell rotisserie chicken at unbelievably low prices. And now more and more rotisserie chicken sellers are now closing shops, and supermarket food section downright stopped making them.

That is why the smell of smoked chicken, instant noodles, and boiled eggs on the train evokes nostalgia for those times. It was so common and widespread that it actually became the culture of that time and later, in the early 2010s, the first memes about this smell and nostalgia would appear on the Internet. In addition to smoked chicken, various baked goods with fillings (pies, chebureki, shangi, khachapuri, puff pastries) were in demand, which could be found behind the same counters where the chicken was located. Chicken has not been sold in this format for over 20 years, but baked goods can still be found in almost every kiosk.

I usually get rotisserie chickens at Sam's Club (We don't have a Costco nearby). Still only $5 each. I use them to make homemade chicken noodle soup. Much easier and faster than cooking down a raw chicken. I frequently buy two at a time and rip them into bite size pieces and use one right away and then freeze the other for a later batch. So I use already cooked chicken and store bought broth, but I do make my own noodles.
