Who is keeping the chicken deli meat manufacturers alive?

Not one person on earth has ever said "I could sure go for a nice oven roasted chicken sandwich right now."

Turkey for life.

We usually have deli meat of some variety handy, never chicken though

Boar's Head Chipotle Chicken Breast and Honey BBQ Glaze are my go to flavors. The Pit Smoked Turkey is excellent.

I have become a fan of anything from HEB that is “post oak smoked”. The ham, turkey, and roast beef are all great.

I used to eat chicken deli meat for a few reasons:

Higher protein count than turkey breast meat
Turkey makes me sleepy
Buffalo chicken deli meat is delicious

But I haven’t bought deli meat in a long time and I do like turkey deli meat a lot. When I was eating deli meat a lot, I went with chicken for the above reasons.

My wife and I. We buy a pound every week or so. We like to eat turkey and chicken sandwich meat for lunch alongside string cheese. Quick low calorie lunch.

I grill a minimum five chicken thighs every weekend, then slice them up and then use them throughout the week.

The post oak smoked cheese is greatness. Same with their in store made pimiento cheese.

I buy chicken mostly I don't think turkey is fit for human consumption

We buy the rotisserie chickens from Walmart and Sam’s fairly often, the lemon flavored one is pretty good.

I kind of agree. If we buy Turkey it has to be smoked and sliced thin. Oven roast turkey can have a variety of different tastes it seems like, some are blech.

Brookshires ham off the bone or Honey ham off the bone is good on fresh kaiser rolls with a few real thin pepperoni slices on top.

Yep… Lemon for me, fresh


plain and after the price drop before wawi snatches it all up, for my raccoons..


along with price drop French bread, it’s cheaper than dog food.

The de-boned chicken thigh is the best deal on chicken in the store.
They are about 75 cents a piece and they grill up perfect.
Don't tell anyone because stock is always low on them.

I have a chicken deli meat sandwich 5 to 6 nights a week. I guess it's probably me.

I can't remember the last time I bought sliced chicken in a deli. Rarely buy turkey either, but we buy a lot of the rotisserie chickens at Costco. They're huge, well cooked, taste great, and still cost %4.99. I debone them, dice the meat, bag it in 8-ounce portions and use it for all kinds of meals - salads, soups, lettuce wraps, stuffed baked potatoes, etc.
