Make busy weeknights even easier with these 21 rotisserie chicken recipes that are made with just 5 ingredients or less! They’re perfect as quick, easy, budget-friendly lunches and dinners that you can even throw together last minute.
It’s been a while since I last posted! I recently moved from Pennsylvania to California, so things have been a little chaotic here…to say the least 🤣
I’ve been relying on easy 5-ingredient recipes more than ever these past few weeks. Especially the no-cook recipes since all my pots, pans, and kitchen appliances have been packed up in boxes.
But I’m happy to say that all my stuff made it safely to the West Coast, and my kitchen is finally coming together!
Things have still been crazy busy though since I start a new job next week and I’m still exhausted from this cross-country move. Seriously, it’s been stressful!
I’ve been relying a lot on rotisserie chicken recipes lately, which is what inspired this week’s roundup! To make life even easier, all of the rotisserie chicken recipes in this post are made with 5 ingredients or less! A lot of these recipes are also meal prep friendly or make great leftovers for the next day.

Next to crockpot recipes and sheet pan dinners, rotisserie chicken is one of my favorite shortcuts for putting together a quick, easy, and high protein meal…especially on those long workdays when cooking from scratch just isn’t happening.
There’s so much to love about a good ol’ rotisserie chicken – it’s already cooked, it’s already seasoned, it’s packed with flavor, and it’s loaded with protein! Oh and my personal favorite – it’s cheap!
You can pick up a whole rotisserie chicken for just $5 at Walmart or Costco. If you’re mega lazy (like me), you can even get pre-shredded tubs of rotisserie chicken at Aldi or Walmart!
You can even use these rotisserie chicken recipes to inspire your meal plan for the week. All you have to do is make ’em on a Sunday, stash them in the fridge or freezer, and boom – you have easy grab & go lunches or dinners for the entire week!
