Hey everybody! How’d your Thursday go? Good? Great 
Tonight I took a break from the 101 Simple Salad Challenge (I know, I’m upset too) and took the uber easy route. I swung by Costco after work (UGHHHHH, love that place so muuuuch) and picked up a fresh rotisserie chicken to play starring role in tonight’s dinner.
Isn’t she a beaut?
I just adore Costco’s rotisserie chicken. First of all they are huge, second of all they are $4.99, third of all they are one of the tastiest things ever and fourth of all you can use them in so many different ways! Including, but not limited to:
- As-is
- Cubed and tossed into salads
- Shredded and mixed into soups
- Chopped and added into casseroles
I just love any food that boasts that kind of versatility, don’t you?
Tonight I ate a thigh and wing with the skin ON – GASP! In my opinion, if you’re going to eat rotisserie chicken, you just have to. It’s the best part!
Now I am NOT a picky eater in any way shape or form (except for cooked carrots and bell peppers,) so in general I like 99% of the things I eat. But when I have something that I really love – I mean REALLY love – I tend to yell out loud:
“I FREAKING LOVE (fill in the blank).”
I definitely yelled that tonight. Rotisserie chicken is…so…good.
I also tend to shout that about garlic bread, Australian licorice and Yoshinoya Beef Bowls. 
To go along with my chicken, I made a big pot of brown rice simmered in chicken broth and the strained juices from the rotisserie container. O..m..g… It tasted like one of those Lipton Rice Sides that come in a pouch, except this was minus all the salt and preservatives!
I rounded out the meal with some freshly steamed green beans from my Mom’s friend’s garden. Holy cow, these were incredible!
Garden fresh is always besht. 
No seasoning needed on these puppies. The natural flavor was just perfect.
So the plan for tonight is to go listen to my brother preach at his Thursday night service – which, hey guess what? You can too! Just go here to listen live at 7:27pm central time
Have a GREAT night everyone!

What do you FREAKING love?
What do I FREAKING love? Where to start. : ) Baked brie with just about any topping comes to mind…roasted root vegetables…grilled pizza…fresh sea scallops! (Made well, they’re almost better than chocolate!)
The Immersion service would be tempting, if I hadn’t just spent all day over at Hope – but I can’t wait for part two of the Leadership Summit tomorrow! Is that something your brother is participating in?
love your blog, that meal looks bangin!
I freakin’ love PEANUT BUTTER!!!
I freaking love cinnamon raisin ezekiel english muffins with cottage cheese….MMMM!
It’s 7:25 and I’m reading your blog at the perfect time. I will listen to your brother preach b/c I need some new God story tellers in my life! God answered my prayer through your blog!
And I love rotisserie chickens. I work at Cub Foods part-time and we make them everyday, different flavors too. When they are on sale I could buy one everyday to put in som many dishes. My husband loves it on his pizza!
Thank you for posting this today, it truly made my yucky day glorious!!
Haha, I LOVE Costco’s chicken, too! I usually HATE chicken skin, but theirs is pretty good! In fact, that’s the first part my hand reaches for.
I FREAKING love kabocha, oats, green tea, sweet potatoes, cheese, and fruits. And carbs!
I love rotisserie chicken too!! It’s incredibly versatile and a great thing to have on hand. I add it to pastas, quesadillas, sandwiches, stir-fries, the list goes on!
i love rotisserie chicken, too!
right now, I FREAKING love those cookie topped brownies I made. man oh man.
Costco’s rotisserie chickens are big, plump, and cheap. Love to make many many meals around it.
I freaking love sushi! Just got back from a sushi fest at Taki. Ate too much, but it’s not an every day thing, so a webgal has to indulge every once in a while.
…peanut butter, honey and raisins rolled into a wheat tortilla!
Your dinner looks great! I freaking love pumpkin, greek yogurt parfaits, and HUGE salads
My fiancé and I love those yoshinoya beef bowls too… I can’t wait to go back and get them – we even tried recreating it at home… it’s just not the same!
I freaking love peanut butter!!! Dinner looks delish. Rotisserie chickens are awesome…so easy and so good.
I don’t eat chicken skin, not for health reasons but because I don’t like the texture!
I love chocolate cake (home made!), summer fruit (pineapple, peaches, nectarines, mangos, watermelon…) and my Nana’s sponge cake with jam and cream.
I am crazy jealous of your dinner! I seriously adore Iowa veggies. my mom was just up there and brought me some sweet corn grown on the farm. Needless to say it was to die for!!
I just posted about my love for rotisserie chicken on my blog the other night! I actually made my own…so I guess I would call it baked chicken…but it totally tasted rotisserie. It was so freaking good, and if you’ve never made one yourself, you should! And I agree – you gotta eat the skin — live it up!
I FREAKING love sushi! And kombucha!
they are so yummy!
i do love those rotisserie chickens though
-muffy
I freakin love… caramelized onions they make everything soooo good… and you’re right if you get a rotisserie chicken it’s against the rules to peel off the skin… look it up, I think it’s in the Constitution or something lol
I agree, I really like their chicken! So handy dandy. But I’ve never had the skin – maybe now I’ll have to try it
I freakin love BBQ SAUCE!!!
I freaking love your ideas! Making rice with the juices from the rotisserie chicken? Genius!
I’m with you girl! I freakin love roast chickens from the store. Whenever I go to Whole Foods I buy one and use the meat for everything! Especially yummy sammies since I’m trying to cut down on all those deli meats! Great dinner girl!
I don’t remember how I came across your site initially, but every time I check in, I get hungry. There’s a Costco down the street from me with rotisserie chickens for sale, but somehow I’d rather just take a bite out of one of these delicious-looking photos. I freaking love chicken and green beans too!
Oooo I will definitely have to check that out!!
