Costco Connie’s Kitchen Chicken Burgers Review

I’m always on the lookout for Costco products with clean, simple ingredients and a solid protein boost. Connie’s Kitchen Fully Cooked Chicken Burgers are a seasonal favorite—available only during the spring and summer months—and I look forward to them every year. Each burger packs over 20 grams of protein, which is sure to keep you feeling satisfied.

Location in Store

You can find the chicken burgers in the refrigerated deli section at Costco, near the Connie’s Kitchen Feta and Spinach Chicken Sausages and the Clean Naturally Chicken Sausages. The item number for the original chicken burgers is 5051502, the item number for the roasted red pepper chicken burgers is 5051503 and the item number for the caramelized onion & cheese is 5051605. I’ve previously reviewed the Janet and Geta’s Chicken Burgers from Costco and the Sunrise Farms Chicken Burgers from Costco if you’re a big chicken burger fan.

Taste

Caramelized Onion & Cheese

I don’t care for this flavor at all and was really disappointed when I tried them. I don’t know why the company offer these when the other two kinds are great.

The reason why I don’t like the caramelized onion & cheddar ones is because the cheese flavor is very processed and artificial. It reminds me of Cheez-Whiz. You can’t taste the caramelized onion at all, just the artificial cheese flavor. I also notice the texture of the burgers isn’t as moist as the other flavors and they’re a bit tougher.

Roasted Red Pepper

I really like the flavor of these chicken burgers. The roasted red pepper flavor is definitely there but it’s really subtle. These taste very much like the original chicken burgers but with a bit of a stronger flavor profile.

These taste similar to a chicken sausage patty and aren’t at all like a chicken breast. They’re heavily seasoned and salty and quite flavorful. They’re great on their own without any toppings or additional seasonings.

Original Chicken Burger

These aren’t the most fantastic chicken burgers I’ve had but they’re still tasty enough that we finished our box! They’re not very flavorful, you mainly just taste chicken and garlic but they’re not at all unpleasent tasting.

These Costco chicken burgers are not a chicken breast burger but are a ground chicken burger, I prefer chicken breast burgers but still enjoyed these. I didn’t find any gross bits or hard pieces in my Connie’s Kitchen Chicken Burger.

Because the burgers don’t have a ton of flavor other than garlic it makes them really versatile, you can cut them up and toss them in a salad, add them to wrap, eat them as a burger or even just eat them alone.

Cost

Caramelized Onion & Cheese

The cost of eight caramelized onion & cheddar chicken burgers is $15.99 Canadian.

Roasted Red Pepper

In 2025 the cost of eight roasted red pepper burgers is $15.99 Canadian.

Original Chicken Burger

In 2021, eight of the original chicken burgers cost $12.49 Canadian.

Convenience

The chicken burgers come vacuum sealed in packs of two which I really appreciated since there’s only two of us in the house. Even if you live alone you could take out two burgers and grill them both with one being for leftovers.

We chose to grill the burgers but you can pan-fry or microwave them as well. My husband found they needed a tad bit longer than three minutes and 30 seconds on the barbecue. The chicken burgers are already fully cooked so that alleviates any worries about eating raw chicken.

The best before date on the burgers is about a month from the date we purchased the burgers. You can freeze them if you like but they do need to be kept refrigerated before you use them. These Costco chicken burgers are great for a summer BBQ or get together.

You can serve the burgers on a bun with toppings like mustard, ketchup, lettuce and tomato or another option is to have them on their own with a side of rice, potato salad, green salad or steamed vegetables!

Nutrition

Calories

Caramelized Onion & Cheddar

One caramelized onion & cheddar burger contains 240 calories, 12 grams of fat, five grams of carbohydrates, two grams of fibre, two grams of sugar, 28 grams of protein and 580 milligrams of sodium. That’s a nice amount of protein in one burger! I think the calories and fat are a bit higher because of the cheese.

Roasted Red Pepper

One roasted red pepper chicken burger contains 180 calories, seven grams of fat, three grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, zero grams of sugar, 24 grams of protein and 410 milligrams of sodium. That’s a decent amount of protein and not a crazy amount of sodium!

Original Chicken Burger

One original chicken burger contains 140 calories, three grams of fat, two grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fibre and sugar, 18 grams of protein and 380 mg of sodium.

Ingredients

The roasted red pepper and original Costco Connie’s Kitchen Chicken Burgers have only a few ingredients listed. These two flavors are gluten-free as well as dairy-free. The ingredients states “chicken” and doesn’t specify what kind so I assume these are a mix of dark and white chicken meat or are just dark chicken meat. I really appreciate the clean, simple ingredients.

The caramelized onion & cheese chicken burgers have a lot more ingredients and are not dairy-free. I don’t love that it has process cheese product as well as “cheddar type flavor”. The soy sauce listed also means these aren’t gluten-free

Scoring

Taste:  7/10 for the original flavor 8/10 for the roasted red pepper 4/10 for the caramelized onion & cheddar.

Cost:  7.5/10

Convenience: 9.5/10

Nutrition: 8/10

Overall

Must buy for the roasted red pepper and original. Walk on by for the caramelized onion & cheddar!

These aren’t mind blowing delicious, but I love them quick and easy lunches, they’re loaded with protein, healthy ingredients and are low in carbs. The cost isn’t bad either!
