Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken
Seasonings and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F so everything is ready when you need it.
- Take your rotisserie chicken out of its packaging and set it on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil all over the chicken, making sure your coating is even.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika across the entire bird.
- Slide the baking sheet into your preheated 375°F oven and let it warm for 15 minutes until the skin turns crispy and everything is heated through.
- Pull the chicken from the oven and transfer it to a serving plate alongside whatever sides you’ve prepared.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken from the store comes already cooked, so you just need to reheat it gently to keep the meat moist rather than drying it out.
- A quick brush of olive oil before baking helps restore the skin’s crispiness that may have softened during storage.
- If you’re short on time, skip the oven entirely and shred the meat right from the package to toss into salads, tacos, or grain bowls for an instant meal.
- For a gluten-free version, double-check that your seasonings are certified gluten-free, since some spice blends contain hidden additives.
