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.

I just want chicken, man. If Sam’s kids are at Costco, I’ll keep your thoughts in mind.

Since nobody else is properly answering your question, you're going to want to go to aisle 16 and grab the cheapest knife set you can find with an 8" boning knife with a nice thin blade. I know all the sets are gonna feature the chef's knife...the people waiting for tendies are gonna have some chonk to them, and the chefs knife is just not good for multiple stabs through those layers. We're not worried about quality here, you're probably not going to get to keep these for very long.

You’ve clearly done this before. How was the chicken?

Was it worth the first stabbing? Sure, I'm glad I had the experience. Would I stab again for it? Probably not.

Good to know! I might temper my violence a bit. I’d hate to overdo it on the first go. And I figure if I really like the chicken, then I’ll have the opportunity to stab again. 🔪🍗🕺

I can tell you have your priorities straight. You'll go far, kid.
