Chicken fingers and Costco’s food court are classics you can never pass up, and now, you can get them both in the same place. Costco chicken strips are officially available at warehouses nationwide, and the response from shoppers has been overwhelmingly positive.
Costco Chicken Strips
After a few months of being in select locations, Costco has officially approved the chicken strips for nationwide distribution.
The Costco chicken strips join several fan favorites at the food court, including pizza, hot dogs, ice cream sundaes, and other yummy treats.
The chicken fingers basket comes with five crispy tenders and a side of sauce for $6.99. The chicken strips are on the bigger side, and the sauce is reminiscent of Chick-fil-A’s delicious sauce.
Shopper’s Reactions
Shoppers have flooded social media with praise for the chicken strips, complementing everything from the portion size, sauce, and pricing.
Instagrammer Costco Savvy wrote there was “no way” she “was leaving without trying them.” After taste-testing, she wrote, “They’re crisp on the outside and definitely filling.”
One person commented on her post, sharing, “Ooo this is a great option for my kids! I’m surprised they’ve only started offering these.”
Another social media influencer, TastesLovely, added that the “strips are BIG.” Even though she waited 20 minutes for her order, as many other Costco members were ordering the strips too, she added the chicken strips were “thick and meaty, light breading, great seasoning.”
@therealkirklandking went to Instagram Reels to share his experience with the Costco chicken strips, sharing a video of him trying the new menu item.
In the caption, he wrote, “Costco just dropped new chicken strips!!! Someone check on @chickfila if there was a @costco drive through it would be over.”
Permanent or Temporary?
So, are the Costco chicken strips here to stay on the menu, or just a temporary item for the wholesaler? As of now, there is no clear answer.
Tasting Table reached out to the Costco customer service team online, yet the representative didn’t have a clear answer as to how long the chicken strips would stay on the menu.
One thing is for certain, though: these chicken strips are making waves in a good way. Make sure to head down to your local wholesaler and try out the next best thing at Costco’s food court!
