What is Rotisserie Chicken?

Rotisserie is a method of cooking, also known as spit-roasting, where meat is skewered on a solid rod and turned next to a heat source such as an open fire or in an oven. Cooking chicken in this way creates evenly cooked, tender meat and delicious caramelized chicken skin.

Ingredient Notes:

Find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below.

• Rotisserie Chicken-ensures tender, flavorful meat and can be found in the deli section of most grocery stores.

• Greek Yogurt– creates an extra creamy chicken salad without overwhelming the flavor.

• Cucumber– for a cooling, refreshing crunch.

• Fresh Dill & Dijon Mustard– for a little spice and tang.

Substitutions & Suggestions:

• Try using last night’s leftover chicken! I’ve used both leftover grilled chicken and fried chicken for this. Both turned out fantastic.

• If using dried dill, start with 1 teaspoon and work up from there.

• Optional Additions: pickle relish, avocado, thinly sliced celery, lemon juice, crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, or nuts (such as pistachios) for even more crunch.

Tips & Notes:

• Rotisserie Chickens generally conatain 3-4 cups of meat. Adjust recipe ratios according to size of chicken and amount of meat.

• Try this chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, as a wrap (I like Spinach Tortillas), as a sandwich, or eat it plain with a pack of crackers.

• Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It may have some excess moisture after sitting for a few days due to the high water volume of the cucumbers. Mix well before serving to redistribute.

• To clean the delicate fresh dill, place dill in a bowl of water and gently swirl them around.
