Rotisserie chicken has become a convenient and economical way to quickly prepare delicious meals.  It is widely available at grocery stores.  You can also make roasted chicken at home.  A good idea is to set time aside to make a couple of roasted chickens to have ready as needed.  Make them, cut them up and freeze them is a smart thing to do.
