No surprise that Costco's chicken tops the list. I brought one home earlier this week -- the damn thing was so heavy I almost needed help carrying it out to the car! But it was oh so delicious.
CNN ran a great piece recently on the rotisserie chicken business:

One Costco I visit has a scale out for customer use not too far from the chickens. I usually pick a few of the plumpest ones and take them over to the scale to pick a final winner. They're often over 4lbs, even 4.75lbs at times. But sometimes it's the bottom tray being very full of juices that's the cause of the weight rather than meat.
And Costco does weight every one of them too, if it's under 3lbs they slap a label on it with a price lower than $4.99 based on $1.66/lb.
