Costco Shoppers Challenge Influencer's 5-Person Claim on $22 Honey Sesame Chicken Meal

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 3

Summary

  • $22 Costco Honey Sesame Chicken Stir Fry sparked online debate after influencer @costcohotfinds told her 3.5 million followers the kit could “easily feed five.”
  • Commenters largely disputed that serving-size claim, with several saying the meal would feed only two adults or fall short for families with teenagers.
  • Some critics also attacked the value, arguing they could make a larger, fresher version at home for less than the prepared kit’s price.
  • The ready-to-cook meal—breaded chicken, noodles, vegetables and two honey sesame sauce packets—is not yet in all stores, and Costco has not publicly stated a serving size.
  • Even with the skepticism, some shoppers praised the dish as quick, kid-friendly and convenient for busy weeknight dinners.
