Let’s face it, picking up a rotisserie chicken is an ingrained Aussie tradition if you have friends popping over. Plus, all major supermarkets sell hot chooks.

They’re convenient, if you don’t have three hours to roast a chicken yourself, and they are a healthier choice – if you don’t eat the skin – for people that want a lean source of protein instead of other chicken takeaway places, like KFC!

So what can you do with your leftover chicken? Here are some super simple meals to throw together with very little effort….

3 simple recipes to make to use up your leftover chicken

Rotisserie chickens are fresh-cooked, seasoned, whole chickens are inexpensive and ready to eat. Not only are they nutritious but they are also full of protein. The breast is the healthiest part and the thigh the least favourite.
