Is rotisserie chicken healthy?
Rotisserie chicken can be part of a healthy diet, but take these things into account before purchasing just any rotisserie chicken.
It’s important to look at how fresh the rotisserie chicken is, the ingredients added to the chicken (i.e. preservatives, antibiotics, types of oils used), where the chicken is from, and the sodium content.
Consider removing the skin before serving as well.
The skin of a rotisserie chicken is very fatty and holds high amounts of sodium.
Rotisserie chicken is one of my favorite ways to eat healthy on a budget because they’re typically no more than $7 and save you tons of time in the kitchen!
How long does rotisserie chicken last in the fridge?
If stored properly (in a ziplock storage bag or sealed container), the USDA says that cooked chicken can last three to four days in the refrigerator. And that goes for any type of cooked chicken—store-bought, homemade, or restaurant leftovers.
How to freeze rotisserie chicken
If you have a lot of leftover chicken on hand and don’t think you will eat it within four days, your best bet is to freeze it.
Place the chicken in a ziplock freezer bag and press out as much air as possible before sealing it.
Freeze the chicken for up to four months.
