How to roast a rotisserie chicken in the oven
Storebought rotisserie chicken has a bad reputation for being too salty, so we’re swapping all of the salt for simple herbs and seasoning instead.
Once the chicken is ready, you can set it and forget it in the oven for 1 hour. The 3-step process couldn’t be much easier:
Place the pieces of chicken in a bowl with the seasonings. Toss to coat.
Add the seasoned chicken pieces to your prepared baking sheet.
Cook for up to 55 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and serve the pieces with your favorite sides or slice it up for a sandwich!
Storing and freezing leftovers
To store, keep the whole pieces or sliced chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
To freeze, place the cooked chicken in sealed ziploc bags for up to 3 months. Let the frozen pieces thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
