Can you freeze store bought rotisserie chicken?

Yes, you can freeze a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Here's how to freeze it properly:

1. Let the chicken cool completely. Once the chicken comes out of the oven, let it sit on the counter until it's completely cooled to room temperature. This will help to preserve its texture and flavor.

2. Remove the meat from the bones. Once the chicken is cool, you can remove the meat from the bones. Use your fingers or a fork to pull the meat away from the bones, then discard the bones.

3. Shred the chicken. Once all the meat has been removed from the bones, shred it into bite-sized pieces. You can do this by hand or by using a food processor fitted with the shredding attachment.

4. Place the chicken in freezer bags. Divide the shredded chicken into freezer-safe bags, making sure to remove as much air as possible from the bags before sealing them.

5. Freeze the chicken for up to 2 months. The chicken can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you're ready to use it, you can thaw the chicken overnight in the refrigerator, or you can microwave it on high power for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through.

When thawing frozen rotisserie chicken, be sure to allow it to thaw completely in the refrigerator before reheating. This will help to ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and that it doesn't become dry or overcooked.
