[citation needed] Rotisserie chicken has been a popular food in Canada since the 1950s, and is a staple of Canadian pop culture.
Rotisserie chicken is often sold at restaurants specializing in rotisserie chicken and is eaten with tortillas, salsa, and sides of arroz rojo and refried beans; it can also be found at supermarkets or warehouse clubs such as Costco or Sam's Club, similar to supermarkets in the United States.
[12] Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken has been growing in popularity worldwide, especially in the United States, where a large number of such restaurants have opened in the past two decades.
[citation needed] In the United States, ready-to-eat rotisserie chickens were available in supermarkets and some butcher shops during much of the twentieth century.
