How to Break Down a Rotisserie Chicken

If dinner feels harder than it should, let me introduce you to one of the most underrated kitchen lifesavers: the rotisserie chicken. It’s affordable, already cooked, packed with protein, and can turn into multiple meals in under 10 minutes—if you know how to break it down the right way.

In this quick video, I’ll show you exactly how to take a store-bought rotisserie chicken and transform it into ready-to-use breasts, thighs, wings, and shredded meat for salads, soups, bowls, wraps, and fast weeknight dinners. No fancy knife skills, no perfection required—just a simple, practical method that saves time, money, and decision fatigue.

This isn’t “cheating.” It’s taking care of yourself… and getting dinner done like a pro.
