Sponsored: Ingles deli rotisserie chicken
How do I know the rotisserie chickens are safe to eat? How long are they left out?
The Ingles deli cooks rotisserie chickens and then puts them in containers and they are taken to the heated display area. The chicken is allowed to stay in the heated display for 2 hours. (You will see a “time clock” on each package). When you pick out a rotisserie chicken make sure the container feels hot to you. After two hours if the chicken has not been been sold, it is removed, from the display, cooled and the meat is cut off and used to make our delicious chicken salad! Sometimes you will see the containers of rotisserie chicken stacked up, this typically happens during lunch or dinner when we sell larger quantities of chicken and they are purchased quickly. All of our stores are checked by the health department and temperatures for these areas are closely monitored by our staff and by inspectors.
Once you get the chicken home if you don’t plan to eat it immediately; you should store it in your refrigerator and reheat it in your microwave or oven. You can reheat the whole bird or cut the chicken up into pieces. Arrange cut pieces in a microwave safe dish. Add about 2 TBSP water (to keep it moist) and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave until hot. Cooked chicken should be eaten in 3-4 days. If you don’t think you will eat the chicken, remove the meat from the bone and store the meat in freezer bags in your freezer to use for chicken salad, soups or casseroles.
