The number of chickens-in-a-box (think wine in a box, but these are also often called rotisserie chickens) I see in shopping carts makes me sad. It can't mean people don't know how to roast a chicken, can it? A little oil, some salt and pepper, stick it in the oven or even in the slow cooker. No. Mostly, I think it's the time factor, fatigue, or simplicity. Maybe the inability to think any more that day. The chicken-in-a-box is often cheaper, too. That just shouldn't be so.
