Is the weight of the chicken excluding the liquid inside the container and the container weight itself?

all weights are expressed as the fraction of the starting or "advertised" weight. the chart adds up to 100% of the starting weight. I thought about trying some other analysis but this seemed like it was the most straightforward

Rotisserie chicken are awesome, but if someone is struggling and is trying to get the most calories from their food, rotisserie is a poor substitute to cooking the bird in a covered dish. The fats that drip of a rotisserie chicken is going to waste and there's a lot calories in chicken fat.

From a cost perspective, any pre cooked chicken should be cheaper than raw chicken. Eating out and ordering a chicken dish doesn't seem as bad now lol

This was $1.19 per lb of raw chicken, which is equivalent to about $3 per lb of cooked chicken
