I admit, it’s only recently that I got on the Costco rotisserie chicken bandwagon, but I’m never getting off.

We are big fans of roast chicken, even our young kids, and I think I just underestimated how great a deal that store-bought roast chicken really is. It also happens to be perfectly juicy and flavorful, not to mention a great source of protein!

Sometimes we all need a shortcut and these recipes using rotisserie chicken are some of our favorites — that is, if we haven’t eaten it all before we get to making anything with it.

I highly recommend buying a couple at a time if you’re feeding a family!

So if, like me, you definitely grabbed one or three on your way out of the store and now you’re wondering, “What can I make with a rotisserie chicken?” this one’s for you!

Best Rotisserie Chicken Recipes
