How Long is a Rotisserie Chicken Good For?
You treat rotiserrie chicken the same as you do any other cooked chicken. As long as you refrigerate it and keep it cold, it is good for 3-5 days.
That said, you could debone it and shred it and freeze for up to 3 months.
What Can I Make with Rotisserie Chicken?
Essentially, any recipe that calls for cooked chicken or canned chicken can be substituted for rotisserie chicken.
Rotisserie chickens are a great way to speed up recipe preparation time since the chicken is already cooked.

I use rotisserie chicken for chicken and sausage gumbo and chicken and dumplings. I also buy those packaged scalloped potatoes and add chicken in those. Rice-a-Roni is another I add rotisserie chicken too. When I debone the rotisserie chicken, I save the skin, fat, bones, all of it and freeze them. When I get around 3 or 4 I put them in my Nesco electric oven with water, celery, carrots, garlic and onions and cook on low for 24 hours. Makes the most awesome bone broth and tons of it. I like the garlic butter rotisserie chickens from Walmart. Another thing I do is I buy about 3 rotisserie chickens, debone them and freeze the chicken meat in 2 cup portions. I use my FoodSaver bags after the chicken is frozen. Great way to add chicken to dishes.
I love to buy rotisserie chickens and debone and freeze too! Perfect way to keep cooked chicken on hand.
