The internet can be a delightful space to learn. When it comes to viral kitchen content, there\u2019s always a throughline of ingredients inspiring cooks in a whole new way \u2014 that\u2019s how we got feta fried eggs<\/a> and the salt shaker secret<\/a> that totally rocked my world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The best cooking hacks are the ones where I wonder, why didn\u2019t I think of that<\/em>? Shredding chicken for my weekly meals is among my least favorite kitchen tasks (right after picking fresh thyme leaves from their sprigs and peeling hard-boiled eggs<\/a>). When I saw creator @southernsnippets<\/a> share a Reel on Instagram, shredding an entire chicken in seconds, I couldn\u2019t look away.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been a Costco member for over 12 years<\/a>, so it\u2019s no surprise that their $5 rotisserie chicken<\/a> is often on my meal plan. I hopped in my car and headed straight to Costco. I had to know if this hack could really turn a whole rotisserie chicken into a recipe-ready ingredient in one minute. Here\u2019s how it went.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This Costco hack couldn\u2019t be easier. Simply place a warm rotisserie chicken in a gallon-sized zip-top bag (there\u2019s no need to pull the chicken apart or do any other prep), seal the bag, and begin to gently massage the chicken. The drumsticks, breast meat, and thighs will very quickly separate from the bones. Continue to press and massage the meat until the skin slips off and the meat shreds to your desired consistency. Avoid rubbing or aggressively mashing the chicken, as this will lead to a mealy and undesirable texture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n As soon as I saw that Reel, I knew I had to try this rotisserie chicken shredding strategy, and whoa, it really works! To be honest, I was skeptical that the meat would really pull away from the bones with as much ease as advertised, but I was able to shred an entire rotisserie chicken in one minute flat. That\u2019s a task that would normally take 10 minutes or more.\u00a0<\/p>\n Shredding rotisserie chicken always leaves my hands, cutting board, and countertop a greasy mess. By shredding the meat inside<\/em> of a zip-top bag, all of that mess was completely contained. It\u2019s easy to pick through the meat to discard the skin and pull out the bones (make sure to find all of the thin rib bones) for slow cooker chicken stock<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHow to Shred a Costco Rotisserie Chicken in 1 Minute<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
