Costco Food Court Is Adding Chicken Strips

Southern Utah, Brace Yourself: Costco’s Bringing the Chicken

Costco has quietly slipped a new contender into its food court lineup, and Southern Utah folks might want to stretch before entering the arena. Chicken strips—yes, Costco-sized chicken strips—are landing in warehouses across the U.S., and they’re already causing more commotion than a July thunderstorm over Cedar Mountain.

A New Summer Sizzler

These aren’t dainty little tenders. We’re talking 4–5 baked, breaded, bicep‑length strips that look like they were raised on protein shakes and motivational podcasts. At $6.99, they’re replacing the Combo Calzone (RIP, you complicated little guy) and stepping in as the new high‑protein, kid‑friendly, “I just survived the St. George heat index” reward meal.

They come with honey mustard or BBQ sauce—some locations even whisper about ranch—because Costco knows Southern Utah residents don’t mess around when it comes to dipping.

Perfect for When It’s 112° and Your Kitchen is Melting

Let’s be honest: in July, the asphalt in Washington City could fry an egg, your flip‑flops, and possibly your hopes and dreams. So, the idea of strolling into Costco’s frosty warehouse oasis and emerging with a basket of golden chicken strips feels downright heroic.

They’re baked (Costco doesn’t install fryers), they’re hefty, and they’re already being compared to Chick‑fil‑A’s sauce game. Some reviewers say they’re salty, others say they’re moist, but everyone agrees they’re big enough to block the sun if you angle them right.

Southern Utah, keep your eyes peeled. When these hit your local warehouse, expect lines, debates, and at least one neighbor declaring them “life‑changing.” And honestly? In this heat, anything that doesn’t require turning on your oven deserves a standing ovation.
