Costco Has a New Version of My Favorite Frozen Chicken

Costco’s shelves are always full, yet somehow the retailer continues to make space for exciting new products. Whether you’re in search of delicious frozen meals the whole family will enjoy or desserts to feed a crowd, the bulk store never disappoints.

Recently, we were thrilled to see that one of our favorite frozen chicken brands has a product at Costco that we’ve never seen before—and we can’t wait to try it.

Just Bare Oven Roasted Chicken Wings

The next time you plan on having chicken wings for dinner, skip the drive-thru and head to Costco. The bulk retailer now sells a frozen version that not only saves you money but might also taste better, too. Just Bare, the brand behind the lightly-breaded bites that fans think taste like Chick-fil-A, has a bone-in roasted wing your family is sure to love.

At Costco, Just Bare Oven Roasted Chicken Wings come in a 3 1/2-pound bag with a mix of drums and flats. Each bag has enough for 11 servings and costs just over $20. Even better, the wings are fully cooked and will crisp up in the air fryer in a fraction of the time it would take to roast raw wings.

For those unfamiliar, Just Bare produces a range of products, including chicken bites and tenders, plus fresh chicken cuts. The brand prides itself on producing quality chicken that’s made without antibiotics, additives, and preservatives.

We already love to use Just Bare chicken in crispy wraps, rice bowls, and as a quick weeknight entrée alongside macaroni and cheese. With this crowd size frozen wing bag, there are even more meal options you can enjoy. We can see these being delicious tossed in a zesty lemon pepper sauce or transformed into a game day platter alongside barbecue or buffalo sauce. In addition, you can coat the wings in a sweet glaze made from brown sugar, garlic, and honey.

Instagrammer @costcobuys shared a video featuring the bright green bag, and members immediately headed to the comments to share their thoughts. “They had them out for samples yesterday, so I tried one—so good! I had to get a bag,” said one fan. “I already said I was going to Costco tomorrow. Now I KNOW I’m going!” added another.

On Reddit, users explain how they cooked the wings. “I think it’s a better deal than the Foster Farms [wings],” said one person. “I air-fried on high for 30 minutes, flipping halfway, then topped with Old Bay. They came out perfectly crispy,” said another.

Another suggested a hands-off way to infuse flavor. “They’re great on a smoker, too (I have a pellet smoker.) Set at low smoke for about 45 minutes, bump up to 350 degrees F [175 degrees C] for about 30-45 mins, until crispy, moving around regularly so they don’t get burnt,” they wrote.

You can find Just Bare Oven Roasted Chicken Wings in the freezer section next to the rest of the brand’s lineup. If you don’t see it in stores yet, be sure to check back in a few weeks, since this appears to be a newer find.
