âž¡ï¸ Question: Is rotisserie chicken healthy?
âž¡ï¸ Answer: Well, compared with most drive-thru foods…in my opinion, yes, but there are some important things to keep in mind when shopping for rotisserie chicken.
Many rotisserie chickens are injected with seasonings that contain sodium phosphate, modified food starches, potato dextrin, carrageenan, and sugars.
I highly suggest that you read the ingredient labels, and do some research if you’re concerned about preservatives in your diet.
Whole Foods grocers offer an organic, hormone-free, and no added salt, rotisserie chicken that is wonderful.
As another option:
I often keep shredded chicken that was cooked in my crockpot, on hand in the fridge and the freezer for quick recipes like this, but in a pinch, you can use a rotisserie chicken.
Once the chicken is cooked through, simply shred with 2 forks, OR shred for a few seconds in your KitchenAid mixer with the paddle attachment.
On another note:
The actual amount of buffalo hot sauce in this recipe is a personal preference, so start with less, and add more to your own taste, as everyone has different ideas about the spiciness they desire in life…I mean meals
