Cooking
- Place the chicken on the rotisserie rod, making sure it’s balanced.

Notes
Store leftover rotisserie chicken in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, use an air fryer or the oven to keep the skin crispy. Just a few minutes at a high temperature will do the trick. Alternatives include using pre-chopped veggies for sides, buying a store-bought rotisserie chicken if short on time, and using bagged salad mixes to save on prep.
