This Brilliant Rotisserie Chicken Hack Helps You Carve It Without a Knife
Rotisserie chicken is the ultimate cheat code for a quick and effortless dinner. I’ll shred mine up and toss it in a quick risotto. I’ll sprinkle it on a bright salad for a light bite. I’ll mix it into a cheesy nacho dish when I’m in the mood for something hearty.
While rotisserie chicken is a quick meal hack, I can’t stand cutting it up — it’s so annoying and messy! But, according to a recent Instagram clip garnering attention, it turns out there’s a really easy way to carve this bird without even having to use a knife.
In the video, the content creator demonstrates a method for breaking down a whole rotisserie chicken while still inside its bag. It’s recommended to start with a rotisserie chicken that is still warm. Then, the process involves massaging the chicken to remove the meat from the bone and gently slamming the chicken on a cutting board to help separate the meat. Finally, using tongs, remove any remaining skin or bones from the bag, and you’ll have prepared rotisserie chicken meat ready to be used in various dishes.
People on social media were shocked at how easy this trick is. One person commented on the post, “I didn’t know about this hack! So helpful!” While another user mentioned, “As the designated rotisserie chicken prepper in the household, I thank you.”
There were also some comments from people with concerns over how safe it is to use the bag that the rotisserie chicken comes in, with one person mentioning, “The bags have no plastic identification code on them and it’s unknown if they are food safe.”
If you’re uncomfortable using something that comes into contact with your food without knowing its chemical composition, a helpful suggestion is to place your rotisserie chicken in a two-gallon food-safe storage bag. That way, you can still use this hack without any worries.
This ingenious trick is a game-changer that’ll get you one step closer to tossing pieces of your delicious carved rotisserie chicken into various dishes, such as creamy enchiladas, hearty curry soup, or white bean chili.
