The idea isn't to serve the same chicken with a different flavoring each time. It's about transforming it into brand new dishes that make a meal easier, especially when you have leftovers waiting in the fridge or simply don't have time to cook chicken from scratch.
I love rotisserie chicken because it's one of the cheapest, most reliable things you can grab at the store. Also convenient, flavorful right out of the container, and always there when you need a fast head start on a real meal.
