Random poll for no purpose other than my curiosity. When I buy a rotisserie chicken I:
1) Leave it whole and pick off what I need.
2) Debone the entire chicken and store pieces.
3) I don’t buy rotisserie chickens.

    Option 2: shred it and store in containers depending on what I'm using it for. Discard the bones and skin.

    Closest to 2.. I carve, pick apart the whole thing and baggie the pieces, preferably while still warm and easiest. I sometimes leave the thigh/drumstick portions intact with bone since ~a single serving each.

    I cut off one portion for me and my husband eats the rest for dinner (he loves rotisserie chicken). Then I toss the carcass in a pot and make broth out of it.

    4 - Don't buy it at all... it's slimy and icky and triggers my gag reflex just thinking about touching it. It should trigger yours too toots! :s

    Do you only have access to the cold ones? They can get a little... gelatinous from the hot fat solidifying as it cools. I have never gotten a hot rotisserie chicken that was slimy or icky or triggering.

    Agreed.

    Hot rotisserie is how I meal prep!

    3. I just cannot bring myself to carve or eat meat off all those bones.

    Option 2 Thank goodness so many stores carry rotisserie chicken for those days when I don't have a clue as to what I'm having for dinner.

    4.) carve it up like a normal chicken for the first meal. Pick off leftovers as I need it afterwards.

    Yup. Was Sunday's dinner. And Mondays dinner as well.

    I like to attack the breast first. That's good for 2 meals. Then I put the bird in the fridge. Next day I reheat it in the oven. I then pull apart the thighs, and this is good for 2 meals. Then it's time to get my fingers greasy and rip out every shred of meat left. I will store that in tupperware for the next day. Rotisserie chickens are quite a bargain.

    #2...but usually nothing gets stored. It will typically feed the four of us for dinner if it's a Costco one and rarely any leftovers. I buy them most often though to put in soups and whatnot.
