FAQ About Cooking With Rotisserie Chicken

How much rotisserie chicken do I need for most recipes?

Most of these recipes work well with about 2 to 4 cups of shredded chicken, depending on whether the dish is a salad, bowl, soup, or casserole. Enchiladas, casseroles, and soups are especially forgiving, which is nice because rotisserie chickens don't exactly arrive with a measuring cup and a plan.

Can I use both white and dark meat?

Yes, and honestly, I think using both gives you the best flavor and keeps things from getting dry. Dark meat works especially well in soups, enchiladas, casseroles, and skillet meals where you want tender bites that stay juicy.

When should I add rotisserie chicken to a recipe?

If the chicken is already cooked, add it near the end whenever possible so it just heats through instead of drying out!

How long does rotisserie chicken last in the fridge?

Cooked chicken is generally best within about 3 to 4 days in the fridge. If you start with leftover rotisserie chicken, your finished dish should be eaten within about 2 more days. Translation: this is not a "discover it next Friday and hope" situation!
