‘Never knew this!’: Walmart shopper reaches for hot rotisserie chicken. Then they look at the chilled ones
Mar 7, 2025

‘Having to touch a cold chicken and shred it would send me over the edge.’

If you’re looking for a quick way to get dinner on the table while also stretching a dollar as far as it can go, there might be some lesser-known options available when it comes to prepared food.
At Walmart, for example, a hot rotisserie chicken ready to plunk down on the table at supper will run you about $6, as one customer has shared via TikTok.
However, on a different shelf in the same store, that rotisserie chicken might be a few dollars cheaper. The catch? It’s kept in a chiller.
In a video that has drawn over 83,000 views on TikTok, user @han.fran shows the price differential for the same rotisserie chickens being offered at different price points on shelves at her local Walmart.
“Did you know that a hot rotisserie chicken from Walmart is $6, BUT a chilled rotisserie chicken is only $4,” an on-screen caption reads.
The Daily Dot has reached out to @han.fran via email, and to Walmart via contact form regarding the video.

Why is the chilled chicken cheaper?

While it is not explicitly stated why a chilled chicken would be cheaper than a heated one on the Walmart website, both are offered for grocery pickup at different price points, about $2 less for the chilled one.
Notably, on the Walmart website, the chilled rotisserie chicken is labeled as EBT eligible, while the hot rotisserie chicken is not.
