Wegmans Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Wegmans Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken by Wegmans MUNCH — score 90/90.

A rotisserie bird that's actually just chicken, salt, and herbs — nearly extinct in supermarkets. The catch: up to 14% injected salt water, so the sodium adds up fast. Still one of the cleanest dinner shortcuts you can grab.

Why this verdict

• Seven recognizable ingredients: chicken, water, sea salt, kosher salt, rosemary, sage, garlic
• No dextrose, phosphates, yeast extract, modified starch, or 'flavorings' — the additive kit most rotisserie chickens are pumped with is absent
• Whole-food protein, high and complete; skin-on fat is honest fat you can see
• Injected with up to 14% salt-water solution — you're paying chicken price for some brine, and sodium per serving runs high

Ingredients (6)

• Whole Chicken (safe) — A real bird — complete protein and the overwhelming majority of what you're eating.
• Water and sea salt solution (up to 14%) (moderate) — Injected brine keeps the meat juicy through hours on a warmer — but it inflates weight and pushes sodium high.
• Kosher salt (moderate) — Second salt source in the herb rub, stacked on top of the brine.
• rosemary (safe) — Real herb, not 'rosemary flavor'.
• Sage (safe) — Real herb.
• GARLIC (safe) — Real garlic, not powder or 'flavor'.
