Inflation is raising the price of all sorts of items in the grocery store, but one staple appears to be immune: rotisserie chicken.
That's not to say the poultry industry isn't suffering from soaring costs. Chicken prices nationwide have increased 16.4% in the year to April, according to the Consumer Price Index. And pointing to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts wholesale poultry prices will increase 15-18% this year.
