Rotisserie chickens are a great option for a frugal grocery budget because they are about as cheap as a whole chicken, but they’re already cooked! You’re saving both time and money.
Another great thing about a Rotisserie Chicken is that they can be used in so many different ways. You can certainly serve it as the main dish, but if you want to save even more money, here are some of my favorite ways to stretch a rotisserie chicken.
Tip: the cheapest rotisserie chicken you’ll find is definitely at Sam’s or Costco. Plus they are larger and will help you get even more meals out of one chicken!
How to Stretch a Rotisserie Chicken
Rotisserie chickens are already seasoned, but the seasoning is relatively mild, so you can use it in different kinds of meals without it interfering with the flavor.
Broth or stock
While you figure out what to do with the meat, you can use the bones from a rotisserie chicken to make chicken or bone broth. Be sure not to add any additional salt, as the bones and skin from a rotisserie chicken will contribute a lot of salt to the broth. You can use this broth as a base for soup or in any recipe that calls for chicken stock! I make chicken broth on the stove, but you can also make chicken broth in the Instant Pot.
Pot pie
Making chicken pot pie is another way to stretch a rotisserie chicken. If you add plenty of veggies, you don’t need to add very much chicken.
