How can you walk away from this great seasoned rotisserie chicken all hot and ready for only $4.99?
Here’s what works for me time and time again.
Buy the chicken. Eat it just like it is the first go around with veggies and rice, or veggies and potato, or with a salad and in this case some veggies and perogies filled with potato and onion…
The following night use the rest of the chicken meat for something like this…
Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Tortilla Chips
2 cups chicken meat
1-1/2 C. chopped celery, green pepper, onion, mixed (that’s 1/2 c. celery, 1/2 c. green pepper, 1/2 c onion)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can (4-oz.) diced green chilies
2 C. grated cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese mixed
Cover bottom of greased flat baking dish with tortilla chips. Spread on layer of chicken, then chopped vegetables and chilies. Add a layer of tortilla chips. Dilute soup with 1/2 can of water and pour over top. Cover with grated cheeses. Bake for 45 min. at 350 degrees.

Delicious! Thanks for the heads up!
I love the simplicity of getting the Rotisserie chicken on my way home. We did this just last Friday night. We have been eating the leftovers on chicken sandwiches the past few days. It is good cold, also. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
oh my goodness — yum yum yum yum! that recipe sounds right up my alley! And what a great idea for quick and cheap!
Blessings,

I love the Costco chickens b/c they are also gluten-free!!!! You always have be careful in my world, but this makes a great easy dinner, with corn tortillas and avocado or tonight we paired it up with sweet potatoes and salad. Yum, Yum!
Well that’s a neat idea! The recipe sounds delicious!
A Costco is being built in our area, and I am looking forward to seeing all it has to offer. Your recipe sounds yummy!
Yum I love costco!
Oh this makes me hungry early in the morning lol! I love chicken and veggies so much. Thank you so much for dropping by Happy WW! God bless!
COSTCO in the BEST! Love it! Happy WW!
We do this all the time! Rotisserie chicken is so handy! And I make a casserole very similar to your recipe.
I wish The Professor would eat the cooked rotisserie chickens from anywhere, but no, he doesn’t like them. Otherwise, we’d have them weekly.
Yummy. My mom does this quite often, as there are only two of them in her household.
Great tip!
I am printing your recipe out! Thanks! I have a few other recipies that you can use with rotisserie chickens and this is a delicious addition.
Sounds like a great recipe! We often get the Costco chicken and make different things out of it. Works for me too!
I used to love this chicken for the price and the taste but beware of the health risks.
I have it on authority from a friend who manages a Costco that these chickens taste the way they do-juicy and tasty because of what Costco does to them prior to roasting.
The chickens are INJECTED with Salt Sea water. This is the secret.
The problem is the sodium level sky rockets and it makes for water retention and blood pressure issues associated with high sodium content foods.
Think about it before you try it again.

Hello . . . glad to have stumbled on your blog!
I had a feeling they did something to their chicken to make it soooo juicy and moist . . . nonetheless, we still buy it here and there. It’s not like we eat it everyday. 
Thanks for the recipe you had posted. I like easy peasy recipes! Take care . . .
and then you can use the carcass to make broth/stock/chicken soup-yum and so cheap and easy!
We buy two chickens at a time, and we barely have leftovers. LOL One doesn’t even feed our family anymore.
But LOVE the rottisserie!
Like everything in this world moderation is best. I only wished to point out why we are all so crazy about the “taste.”
If you don’t make this your dietary stable then of course it’s all good.
As for taste, it is the best tasting rotisserie chicken I have ever had and I am a big fan of a number of chicken spots.
Dean, Thanks for the info…
Sounds delicious!
Hi there –
sorry, I’m with deansguide on this one – over here in the UK rotisserie & even standad chickens are injected subcutaneously with a mixture of pork fat in saline solution to make them heavier so more profit can be made. Also if the birds have been treated with antibiotics that can enter the human food chain…a friend of mine who adored cheap supermarket chicken gave birth to a baby boy a couple of years ago & he was born with deformed genitalia – which the medical profession put down to her love of the chicken meat.
Then there’s the welfare of the birds themselves. It takes only six weeks from hatch to despatch of a broiler chicken; & they grow so fast their legs cannot support their weight so they spend much of their short lives sitting in their own dung, which causes the hock burns you’ll see on the legs of a raw broiler bird (caused by sitting for prolonged periods in ammonia). And of course they never get to feel the sun on their feathers, cannot scratch, dustbathe or even have room to stretch their wings…it’s horrible.
So next time you buy a chicken, why not try a free-range bird? It’ll cost a bit more but with a little effort the taste & succulence is unsurpassed – & without all those chemicals or the welfare issues. Nice to see you American gals make the most of your chickens though & use them for several meals – sadly people don’t so much, over here.
If you take a look at my Blog there’s a link on there to TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s “Chicken Out!” campaign – worth a look if you want to know more. You can find us at http:/littleffarmdairy.wordpress.com, we’ve downshifted to run a small goat dairy farm in Wales. Needless to say we’re pretty self-sufficient so usually don’t have to worry about where our food comes from as it’s all home produced so organic & free-range….lucky us!
I’ve been curious about the great taste of Costco chicken too. I asked a number of different butchers at Costco what they did to the chicken. They said the do nothing to them. I thought there’d be MSG. The boxes the chickens come in don’t list MSG, which, by law, you must. So, perhaps it’s the rotisserie cooking style or something done by the supplier.
Well… i would love to eat organic EVERYTHING… however due to our financial situation, we just can’t afford it! so please don’t gross me out! I DO LOVE these chickens though… they are SUPER yummy!!!
