"A minimal amount of clear or light-golden juices [is] acceptable. However, an abundance of cloudy, oily liquids or a gelatinous and dark-grayish substance indicates the chicken may have been stored and cooled down for extended periods of time."
"If the liquid at the bottom of the container has begun to congeal, it likely means the rotisserie chicken has been sitting too long, possibly at too low a temperature."
"Cooked chicken should not sit out for more than two hours at room temperature. Rotisserie chickens should be held at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or above after cooking to prevent bacterial growth."
When purchasing rotisserie chicken, be cautious of excessive liquid, which can indicate improper storage. A small amount of clear or light-golden juices is acceptable, but cloudy, oily liquids or dark-grayish substances suggest the chicken has been stored too long. Cooked chicken should not sit out for more than two hours at room temperature and must be held at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or above to prevent bacterial growth. Excessive liquid can compromise both safety and quality.
