The part that takes the longest to cook is the breast, and that’s white meat.
It seems like you’re showing us the thigh, which is dark meat. It has been cooked to the correct temperature, but you can always cook it longer if you prefer.

The 2nd & 3rd picture is from the breast.

Not undercooked. This is a normal color variation, even in breast meat, due to things like blood vessels. Costco rotisserie chickens are cooked to a specific interior temperature, and every single batch is checked. They are never undercooked.

I’ve occasionally had that gelatinous stuff too. I’m not exactly sure what that is. I’ve just scraped it out and discarded it. As for the pink, that’s just a vein. The visible fibers in the meat indicate that the bird is completely cooked.

Chemical changes occur during cooking. Oven gases in a heated gas or electric oven react chemically with hemoglobin in the meat tissues to give it a pink tinge. Often meat of younger birds shows the most pink because their thinner skins permit oven gases to reach the flesh. Older animals have a fat layer under their skin, giving the flesh added protection from the gases. Older poultry may be pink in spots where fat is absent from the skin. Also, nitrates and nitrites, which are often used as preservatives or may occur naturally in the feed or water supply used, can cause a pink color.

The chickens are in a salt brine when they arrive to the warehouse. The pinkish colour is from the chicken essentially being cured during the cooking process. Deli worker here

I know people in the comments are saying that’s not raw, but that looks raw to me

It's literally not undercooked. Temperature indicates doneness, and Costco chickens are always cooked to high enough temperature for long enough." Color does not indicate doneness. The USDA further explains that even fully cooked poultry can sometimes show a pinkish tinge in the meat and juices. This is particularly true of young chickens whose bones and skin are still very permeable. "

It is. The jelly looking opaque parts, not necessarily the pink part.

Like I personally wouldn’t eat this. I’d be asking for a refund for a different product.

That’s not raw. It’s normal for chicken to have pigmentation.
