You are correct! Some grocery store rotisserie chickens will contain added sodium and other ingredients (potentially used as preservatives). Some stores, however, only season the outside of the bird using common ingredients such as herbs/spices and salt. They will also likely use a label stating, "no salt added" or something similar. Using the ingredient list on the packaging or speaking with a store employee are ways to determine how the bird has been treated/seasoned. In terms of sodium content of the broth, however, the bones themselves will not be a significant source of sodium. If you are at all worried about your sodium intake, feel free to omit any additional salt. Hope that helps and thanks for asking!
Doesn’t the rotisserie chicken have preservatives and excess salt?
