Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

No, it isn't, that's ridiculous, and people are up voting it. Use your Critical Thinking Skills, citizens!
They may just be confused about what they heard, or they heard that from someone confused.
Something I heard, which sounds more plausible, is: rotisserie chickens that have been sitting around a bit (not even close to going bad, just not very hot and fresh anymore) are used to make the things they sell with rotisserie chicken in them, like those trays of chicken and broccoli Alfredo. (I can eat an embarrassing large portion of those "family size" trays.)
I could see how after being passed through a few people that turns into what they said.
When I was 15 I worked at a Red Rooster (Australian fast food chain)
Each night before knock off we would strip any of the whole roast chickens that didn't sell and turn them into rooster rolls and put them in the fridge for tomorrow
All rotisserie chickens have a Sell By TIME, and I understand that those that have expired and not sold do get used in other dishes. Lately they even had rotisserie chicken meat for sale, so you don't have to clean the bones yourself.
They sell pretty quickly in my local Publix, I don't think they have much to recycle.
But the idea that they take the chickens that are at their expiration date, and cook them and sell them, is silly.
I'm using my Critical Doublethinking Skills even like a good model citizen
