    None of the above.

    This is what I do:

    1) break the chicken down into it's major parts.(legs, breasts and wings) w/o deboning.

    2) inmediately eat whatever I feel like eating and then vacuum seal/freeze the rest (which could be the entire bird if I don't eat any right away), and then

    3) make stock out the carcass and any bones saved after eating the bird.

    I don't really like dark meat so it's a waste for me to buy them.

    Cut it into servable pieces and serve it for dinner, unless I have a specific need for a cooked chicken that I don't want to cook .

    When I lived by myself, I would cut it into servable pieces and then eat or use acvording to my mood and general laziness.

    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.

    They can be a bit over greasy and salty. I used to love them, now I pretty much tolerate if I really don't want to cook.

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

    I just go to the deli counter and ask them to give me a pound of shredded rotisserie chicken. They take some of the same rotisserie chicken that's out there whole, shred it themselves, and store it in the cooler. But you have to ask for it and I'm not sure if it's just my store that does it. It costs the same amount as buying the whole thing per pound, but it's already processed and ready to go into my dinner. I like to make enchiladas with it or add it to salads. I found out about it by accident one day when they were all sold out of whole chickens and I was giving a sad face to the deli lady. She hooked me up! B)

    Pick out the white meat with a knife and fork. Shred the rest and give it to the dog. Throw away the carcass in an outside dumpster so the dog doesn't go on a treasure hunt through the trash.

    All
    I don't buy one often. If I do I use some for a meal and then remove all the meat from the bones and store just the meat for future use.

    Totally #1 here, but I don't buy it often... only when it's on sale.

    Shred it all immediately, I feel like it comes off the bone so much easier while it's still warm :)

    Cut it in half and eat the half with knife and fork. I'm a hungry guy.

    2 - debone and store. I only buy rotisserie chickens on sale, then use them for meal planning/prep. Great for soups, salads, and casseroles, but I really don't care for just plain chicken on my plate for a meal.

    Maybe it's just here but the chicken are dry and completely devoid of flavor, adding salt and pepper barely helps.
