Fluff: How long to reheat rotisserie chicken from grocery?

35-50 minutes sounds like a very long time! It would dry it out. I don’t buy more than we will use, so I don’t have to reheat it. If I’m going to freeze one for some reason, I pull it first. Then that chicken never is just eaten, it goes in dishes, so it isn’t dry.

Depending on how much is left, I’ll leave it in the plastic pod and microwave it for 3-6 minutes. If only one person is having some, they will cut off what they want and microwave just their portion on a plate under a splatter cover for a couple minutes.

I never reheat mine. Usually I get Costco's chicken, and I'll eat a piece warm immediately when I get home (since it's still warm from the store). Then that night we eat for dinner, but everyone cuts off their own piece. Sometimes I'll cut it but only into pieces -- leg, thigh, wings, etc. -- not taking all the meat off. If it's straight from the fridge we might heat it for 30 seconds or so in the microwave. I would never put it in the oven for 35 minutes.

That seems way too long. I would eat right away, or cold, or shred it then microwave.

I always nibble and nibble while taking all of the meat off of the carcass as soon as I bring it home from Costco. Then we eat it in all sorts of dishes. I love it in salad cold. If I want to heat it I do it for a minute at time in the microwave at 70% power so it doesn't get rubbery. I like using it in soups and "Buddha bowls" and salads and sometimes make a white chili. I also freeze it sometimes.

I'm pretty sure the oven instructions on Costco's chickens say to cover in foil and bake for 50 minutes. My kids really like crispy skin so I microwave for 6ish minutes at 50% power and then put it in the air fryer or convection oven for 5 minutes. It always comes out great.

I would cut pieces off and use the microwave, personally.

But if I were to reheat the whole thing, I’d do something like this: www.southernliving.com/food/meat/chicken/how-to-reheat-rotisserie-chicken

I usually shop early in the day so reheat for dinner I put it in a covered roaster for almost an hour snd it’s never dry. This is for a Sam’s club or Costco one grocery store ones are usually a lot smaller so I would heat less.

The chicken is already cooked so we either eat it warm from the store or everyone cuts off their piece and uses the microwave to reheat.

We just either eat it right away while still hot or slice off pieces and microwave. I've never put the whole thing in the oven, that seems like it would dry it right out and I hate dry chicken.

I have an extreme aversion to leftover chicken when it is microwaved, to the point where it makes me gag, so I would use the oven.
