"While some recent viral hacks suggest placing the chicken in a sealable plastic bag and to essentially smash it apart, this is neither efficient nor effective. Carefully separating the meat from the bones while your rotisserie chicken is still hot is the most logical choice, since everything is still fairly pliable; once the chicken cools and the fats congeal, it's considerably more difficult."
"Wear disposable gloves when working with the chicken, both for hygienic purposes and to add a layer of protection for your hands to avoid the risk of burns. As always, when working with any hot food, it's imperative to exercise extreme caution. From there, you can add the de-boned chicken to a number of delicious dishes. There are many uses for pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, and deboning it while it's still hot will make your meal preparation go much more smoothly."
Store-bought rotisserie chicken serves as a versatile ready-to-use protein for many meals. Judge quality by its appearance and choose the best option available. Shred meat off the bones while the chicken is still hot because fibers and fats remain pliable; once cooled, shredding becomes more difficult as fats congeal. Avoid viral 'smash-in-bag' hacks because they are inefficient and ineffective. Wear disposable gloves for hygiene and to protect hands from burns when handling hot chicken. Store separated chicken pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about four days. Use deboned chicken in soups, stews, chilis, and other dishes.
