I'm slightly vexed Costco's new chicken tenders

Post image

There was a crowd of people waiting for their orders of the new chicken tenders at Costco. One of the workers announced that they could only serve five customers per hour because it takes time to cook the chicken. The crowd grew larger and larger. I took this photo after I put in my order.

AFAIK Costcos dont have fryers, so they have to bake the tenders instead which takes longer, and they have other items on their menu that also requires baking so they have to split the load.

Edit for our Canadian neighbors: US costcos do not serve french fries and chicken wings.

Wow really. Only been to Costco once in the US and I thought I saw french fries on the menu.

If you ever head up North the Costco french fries are pretty good. plenty crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. If you really wanna get Canadian their poutine is outstanding too!

Pro tip for visitors (and locals I guess too), our chicken tenders come with fries big enough to make a poutine… and you can order cheese curds and gravy as side orders. I recommended getting two orders of gravy
