Rotisserie Chicken

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For longer storage, shred or dice the chicken and freeze.

Shred or dice leftover rotisserie chicken for quick additions to salads, sandwiches, tacos, or pasta dishes.

Use the carcass to make a flavorful chicken stock.

The dark meat is typically moister than the white meat; use it where juiciness is key.

Store-bought rotisserie chicken is often seasoned; consider this when adding your own seasonings to dishes.

Mashed potatoes

Roasted vegetables

Green salads

Macaroni and cheese

Rice pilaf

Sandwich bread or wraps

Overheating: reheating chicken too quickly or at too high a temperature can dry it out.

Discarding the carcass: the bones and skin can be used to make a rich, homemade stock.
