Costco shoppers are absolutely loving this chicken burger kit!
Last Friday we went to Costco to pick up a few more holiday items to review. It was after work and we were unsure what to have for dinner so we picked up the new Costco Kirkland Signature Chicken Burger Meal Kit which I’m reviewing today.
Some other favorite pre-made meals from Costco are the Costco Kirkland Signature Stuffed Peppers, Costco Kirkland Signature Chicken Pot Pie, Costco Kirkland Signature Stuffed Salmon, Costco Kirkland Signature Shepherd’s Pie and the Costco Kirkland Signature Four Cheese and Spinach Manicotti.
Location in Store
You can find this in the refrigerated deal pre-made meal section. The item number is 25271.
Taste
If you see this, pick it up! It’s so good. The chicken is nice and crispy and tastes like high-quality chicken. No gross bits or gristle. The brioche buns are soft and fluffy. There are two sauces in the pack, buttermilk ranch and buffalo.
The sauces taste pretty much how you’d expect them to taste. The buttermilk ranch is creamy and cooling and the buffalo is hot and spicy. When you put both sauces on the chicken burger they combine nicely, the ranch takes away the amount of heat from the buffalo sauce.
The pieces of chicken in my pack are really big!. The potato wedges are seasoned well and I can taste a slight hint of spice. I recommend putting them in the air fryer if you have one to get them nice and crispy.
In the future, I would add pickles, lettuce and tomato to my Costco chicken burger, maybe even some cheese but for the purposes of the review, I ate it with what came in the kit.
Cost
I paid $21.25 for the burger kit which comes with four chicken pieces, four buns and two sauce packets. This seems a little expensive but is completely worth it in my eyes.
Convenience
The best before date on the Costco Kirkland Signature Chicken Burger Meal Kit is four days from the date it is packaged on. This makes an easy. quick and convenient meal!
I recommend heating the potato wedges in the air fryer so they get nice and crispy. I heated my chicken in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 32 minutes, turning over at the fifteen-minute mark and found that the chicken turned out beautifully.
I also heated the wedges in my oven but didn’t find them super crispy after 17 minutes so put them on broil and then they got crispy.
Nutrition
Calories
Per brioche bun, there are 150 calories, four grams of fat, 25 grams of carbohydrates, two grams of fibre, five grams of sugar, six grams of protein and 260 milligrams of sodium in one bun.
I went to Costco directly to get the calories for the chicken and potato wedges along with the sauces. In 1/4 of the package, there are 1190 calories, 56 grams of fat, 3300 milligrams of sodium, 128 grams of carbohydrates, seven grams of fibre, seven grams of sugar and 46 grams of protein.
Ingredients
The chicken burger kit is not gluten-free or dairy-free and also has quite a few unhealthy ingredients! I definitely wouldn’t classify this as a healthy meal but I would say it’s a fun and tasty meal!
Scoring
Taste: 9/10
Cost: 8/10
Convenience: 8.5/10
Nutrition: 1/10 (for the protein)

Kids and adults will both totally love this new pre-made Chicken Burger Kit from Costco. I suggest picking one up as a treat over the Christmas holidays!

The chicken was amazing the first time I bought this last year, but a couple of times after that it was a bit gristly and chewy.
The buffalo sauce is nice and tangy, and coating on the potato wedges crisps up so well- I wish they sold these alone.
It wasn’t a good seller, it’s discontinued at our Costco.
Perhaps Natalie should do a survey (outside her husband) before recommending products from Costco? Or perhaps she’s recommending products even though she doesn’t like them? 🤔
I thought they were disgusting. Will never buy again!
Really disappointed as they had been recommended to me by coworkers.
Does anyone know if you can just buy the chicken burger?
I had these chicken burgers 4 times. Every time, it was super good as you and many other people left good feedback.
The chicken was very moist and juicy. I enjoyed it.
Then, after for a little while I hadn’t seen it at Costco, I found it again. So I purchased it again to have easy great meal.
I was almost shocked. The chicken got completely changed!!! It’s so bad. Way too much, thick breaded outside with super dry thin chicken!!!
I won’t buy it anymore unless they changed it back to the original one.
It’s so disappointing.
I bought this for the first time last night based on the reviews here but then I saw this review. Hopefully, the chicken I bought is good. I’ll find out tomorrow.
I hope so too!! Please leave your comment here again after having it.
I really hope they would change the good chicken back. It was really good before.
I came back to post my experience albeit a bit late. I didn’t have it before any changes so I can’t compare properly. I thought it was just ok. Nothing terrible but nothing fantastic. Edible and filing for a meal but I don’t think I’d rush out and buy it again. I wonder if I got a post change batch?
Any thoughts on what kind of buffalo sauce that is? I’d like to buy a few gallons lol
Wish I knew!
Is it ok if I can the whole box myself?
Eat it yourself? Like in one sitting? That’s a lot of sodium but everyone is different!
Our family loved them. Try going to a fast food takeaway for $20 for a meal for 4 adults. Maybe $50 dollars if your lucky.
Any idea how many calories is just the chicken patty ? Thanks !
No idea! Costco just gives it for the whole meal.
Does anyone know where one can buy just the chicken burgers?? Thanks
We tried this a month ago. We used convection mode in our natural gas oven and they were super tasty and a good value compared to going to a restaurant! Will definitely be trying them again.
As for previous comment, one really has to shake their head at the rudeness. I just stumbled upon this site by accident from Google and I think it’s a fabulous idea! Thanks for your reviews and happy holidays from Halifax!
That’s such a nice comment! Thank you! Happy Holidays from Alberta!
Oh my. No thanks. We saw this and just walked away. Thanks for the review. I’m surprised you reviewed this and not the Rum Balls.
Wow how rude! Maybe YOU should review the rum balls.
Thank you for the review on the chicken burgers
