Equipment

  • High sided mixing bowl
  • Electric hand mixer
  • Stand mixer

Instructions

  • Once you have the chicken removed from the bone (all small bones, skin, and cartilage removed too) and placed in a mixing bowl, it’s time to get started shredding.
  • Place the electric mixer in the center of the bowl, with the beaters touching the bottom of the bowl. We do not want to start the mixer above the chicken as it will splatter everywhere.
  • Turn the mixer on to the LOWEST speed. Hold the mixing bowl and move the mixer around, roughly shredding the chicken.
  • As the chicken starts to shred, gradually increase the speed of the mixer until it has shredded to the consistency you like. Then stop the mixer and remove the chicken.
  • If some parts have not been shredded completely, it is best to break down the larger pieces with your fingers or a fork.
  • And there you have it: shredded rotisserie chicken in a flash.
