🔴The Ultimate Best Way To Use Tempting Costco Rotisserie Chicken

Buying a rotisserie chicken from Costco has become a bi-weekly event for our family. There are many, many dishes that you can make that call for cooked/shredded chicken that you can never truly run out of uses for a good rotisserie chicken, and Costco sells their chicken at $4.99 so it’s hard to find a cheaper meat, raw or cooked, at that price per pound. So for any recipe that I have that calls for cooked chicken, like chicken pot pie, chicken salad sandwich, chicken noodle soup, chicken tacos, chicken empanadas, and the like, I surely have bought a Costco rotisserie chicken for the chicken part. Usually, we get 2 or 3 dishes from 1 rotisserie chicken, so it is well worth the price. Plus you can also use the bones to make chicken stock. So if you haven’t started buying a $4.99 Costco rotisserie chicken, and you have a Costco membership, what are you waiting for?
