Chicken salad. I add it to rice, broccoli, and cheese.

I harvest all the meat, chop it up, mix it with taco sauce, shredded cheese, and pinto beans, then wrap it up in several dozen burrito-sized tortillas, then wrap in parchment paper and freeze them. It makes a cheap and delicious ready-to-microwave lunch whenever I don't feel like making something more complicated for lunch.

Then I throw the remaining bones and skin and bits into my instant pot, add a few quarts of water, some salt, some bits of carrot, onion, celery, and make a bunch of chicken stock...which I freeze into ice cubes and use for cooking other things.

I try to get a rotisserie chicken every time I'm there...it's one of the most economical sources of protein you can get.

Dude, this is the response I've been looking for! I'm doing this for lunches next week.

You'll love them! I also like to throw diced onion and (if I have some) a little bit of pickled jalapeno into the mix.

The broth is definitely a great idea. I don’t really get the rotisseries but I cook my own whole chickens, and you get way more out of it when you also make broth. I use a regular crockpot and then use the broth for tons of different things like casseroles and soups.
