Costco shoppers have a new reason to linger after loading their carts with bulk paper towels and oversized snack packs: The retailer has added chicken strips to its famously affordable food court menu.<\/p>\n
The new offering includes five large, breaded chicken breast strips and a container of dipping sauce for $6.99. The combo clocks in at 1,640 calories.<\/p>\n
After appearing in select test markets earlier this year, the strips are now being reported at Costco warehouses across the country.<\/p>\n

The chicken strips join a food court lineup best known for its $1.50 hot dog and soda combo, oversized pizza slices and selection of sandwiches and desserts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At nearly $7, the strips are more expensive than Costco\u2019s signature hot dog deal. The orange-colored dipping sauce has drawn nearly as much attention as the chicken itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reviewers have compared its appearance to sauces served at popular chicken chains, though its flavor has been described as closer to a tangy or zesty honey mustard.<\/p>\n
“Costco just dropped new chicken strips!!! Someone check on @chickfila; if there was a @costco drive-through, it would be over,” Costco food blogger Lucas Gomes, @therealkirklandking, shared in an Instagram reel. “This sauce does not taste like Chick-fil-A sauce. I don\u2019t know what this mystery sauce is, but it\u2019s good.”<\/p>\n

As with many changes to Costco\u2019s closely watched food court, the reaction has been mixed. Some shoppers have praised the size of the strips and called the meal a strong value. Others have criticized the chicken as salty, dry or too heavily breaded.<\/p>\n
Costco has made several notable menu changes in recent years, including replacing its churro with a large chocolate chip cookie and introducing new sandwich options.<\/p>\n
