What do you do with Rotisserie Chicken?
(Sung to the tune of “What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor”)
Our recent practice during the pandemic (and it will probably continue after as well) is to go to Costco about once every 2 weeks. Each time, I buy 2 rotisserie chickens (just about the best $10 you can spend). Here’s what I do with it:
NIght 1: Sliced roast chicken with a veg and maybe a starch--in this case, microwave steamed peeled asparagus (1.5 minutes) with leftover hollandaise and homemade pasta with truffle butter and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Total time: about 15 minutes, including peeling the asparagus--it does make it taste better.
After dinner: I break down the rest of the chickens into chicken meat (to be used in salad, pasta, tacos, chicken salad or soup)
and the bones to be turned into bone broth …
The bone broth cooks overnight in the pressure cooker setting on the Instant Pot.
Which leaves me with a good quantity of chicken bone broth to make some of our favorite soups:
Thai Shrimp, Pork and Chicken Soup with Jalapenos
Slow Cooker Lentil Soup with Sausage and Spinach
