We used to buy the roasted chickens from Costco. They were delicious and very reasonably priced. Then they installed new rotisserie equipment and they must have changed their process, because they just are not the same. They come out raw and red near the bone. We would return them to the oven before serving but even that did not result in properly cooked chicken. So we stopped buying them there. We now get these huge roasted chickens from Smart and Final. They are very good, well done, and we can get at least four meals off of them.
This is a good recipe because it is a whole meal in itself, healthy and low-calorie, and very tasty.

I made this instead of a beef salad because I had left-over roasted chicken and no beef. It really turned out well. It could be made with beef as well. Try marinating bean sprouts in the rice wine vinegar as an appetizer. Serves: 4 |
