Looking for input from those who have used rotisserie chicken containers for wintersowing. I don’t drink milk but do buy a fair amount of Sam’s Club rotisserie chicken. Depth is not much different than seed trays. I have seen comments on other Reddit posts saying they are not deep enough but others users saying they have worked. Maybe better to use a certain soil mixture so that it doesn’t dry out or stay to wet. Let me know…

it’s fine; make sure it has drainage.
be sure to clean them well– a raccoon etc might tear it apart if it’s still even vaguely chickenéd
in my mind, milk jugs stay upright easier, but keep them protected and it’s fine
The bottom looks a bit shallow. I would put 2 tops together for more soil depth. I use twist ties for this.
Seems reasonable, as long as they’re cleaned out well to avoid animals and salts.
The only things I’m not sure about are whether they have holes in the lid and how well they seal. I have some cheap purpose-built trays with covers for seed starting pucks; the trays fill with water quickly if left outside. That said, those at least start seeds really fast.
You’d only want to use this to get to the seedling stage that you’d be moving into pots once they’re large enough.
