Rotisserie chicken is a great dinner shortcut - simple, versatile, and cheap. Freezing store bought or homemade rotisserie chicken is one of the best ways to save money and time. It will taste just like it did before and makes cooking a breeze!
Allow chicken to cool completely at room temperature. You never want to freeze chicken when it's cooked. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Freezing Cooked Chicken
Cut the chicken into parts and individually wrap the wings, thighs, and breasts with saran wrap. Place pieces in a ziploc bag and remove as much air as possible. Store in the freezer.
If shredding, use your hands (or egg beater) to shred chicken. Place chicken in a ziploc bag and remove as much air as possible. Store in the freezer.
