Question about left overs

I bought a hot rotisserie chicken yesterday from the grocery store.
I ate part of it, and I let it cool down and put it in the fridge last night.
Would it still be okay to eat tomorrow night?

I usually don't cook enough to have left overs or eat it the next day.

Thanks :)

    when I was single, I would buy a whole rotissery chicken from costco and it would last me the whole week.
    check the label to make sure is freshly cooked (i'm pretty sure it will be since they fly off the heater)

    Yes its ok. I do this all the time. Its usually gone the next day so I'm not sure how long it would last after that.

    It will be fine. I often take the leftover chicken and cut it up and make a chicken salad. Use a smidge of mayo (just enough to make it not dry), some lemon juice, dill and grapes. If you have apples...BONUS!!! Very yummy.

    Should be okay for a couple of days if you keep it the fridge! You'll know if it goes bad by the smell... or if it gets slimy...

    Absolutely! You can warm it up in the microwave or in the oven -- or eat it cold. I buy rotisserie turkey breasts at the supermarket every Sunday, carve them up and then take turkey for lunch every day. Much healthy yumm, and easy to prepare.
