Hillshire Farm has been selling deli meat for nearly a century, and it has managed to remain popular throughout the decades. The company has kept up with the changing times, being one of the latest to join the metaverse. Still, its wide selection of deli meats keeps the brand in the spotlight and on our list of the best packaged deli meat brands that most grocery stores keep in stock. We tasted and ranked 12 Hillshire Farm deli meats, and the ultra-thin rotisserie seasoned chicken was our favorite.
Chicken hardly makes an appearance on deli meat listings, and we’re as surprised as you are to see chicken beat out classic deli meats like ham, turkey, and roast beef, but the flavor, texture, and overall complexity of this rotisserie-seasoned chicken won us over. Hillshire Farm managed to channel the comforting, rich, smoky, and aromatic flavors of a piping hot, spit-roasted rotisserie chicken into cold, thinly sliced deli meat. The rotisserie seasoning was bursting with warming aromatic notes that reminded us of chicken noodle soup, and it pervaded every bite. While chicken meat has a propensity to dry out, this deli meat was as succulent as it was flavorful. Plus, the thin slices were delicate and tender, so it was impossible to eat just one slice out of the package.
More glowing reviews of Hillshire Farm rotisserie seasoned chicken
We certainly aren’t the only fans of Hillshire Farm’s rotisserie seasoned chicken; you can find glowing reviews from customers at all of the major grocers like Kroger and Walmart as well as online suppliers like Amazon. Walmart customers raved about how the rotisserie seasoned chicken was as delicious and high quality as deli meat sliced fresh. One reviewer described the deli meat as, “Finger licking, off the bone good.” Kroger customers were impressed that a lean deli meat like chicken breast could be so flavorful and tasty. And a 5-star review on Amazon summed it up nicely by calling Hillshire Farm’s rotisserie seasoned chicken a sandwich classic with a salty and strong chicken flavor that they eat daily on sandwiches that never get old.
A comforting, salty, and intense chicken flavor from a packaged deli meat is a rarity that you should definitely capitalize on. An abundance of flavor wouldn’t require any elaborate garnishes or sauces either. You can layer this rotisserie seasoned chicken meat into thinly sliced sandwich bread with a slather of mayo, juicy beefsteak tomatoes, and iceberg lettuce for some crunch.
