Who does not love rotisserie chicken? This inexpensive oven-roasted chicken that you can conveniently buy from the grocery for 5 dollars (what a bargain!) is a constant hit to dinner on any given day.

May it be for casseroles, soups, salads, or consumed on its own, this pre-cooked chicken saves you cooking time. That is why it's an all-time favorite item during a quick grocery run! Also, a great dinner option when you want to take a day off from cooking.

Rotisserie chicken is tasty and juicy as it is (especially the outer part!) but it's always nice to have something different to go with it on the sides.

Side dishes like simply sauteed veggies, corn, or some grains are great complementary dishes. If you are being generous, sides like salads, pasta, and baked potatoes will turn the dinner table into a feast.

These 25 sides are my top favorites to serve with rotisserie chicken. They are so good and without fail give a nice touch to most chicken recipes.

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

I like to eat my rotisserie chicken with plain steamed rice and a dipping sauce but you can't say no to this pineapple fried rice. Experience the taste of Thai in this delightful Asian-inspired recipe. Best cooked in a wok on a high heat! It's nice to make that rice a little bit crispy.

What I love about this recipe is that you can make it egg-free and add crispy tofu!

Garlicky with a blend of herbs, these roasted potatoes, carrots, and zucchini are never boring. When roasting these tri-colored veggie combo there is no need to peel them for as long as you wash the skin thoroughly.

Did you know that most nutrients are found on the skin of vegetables? Not only that, when roasted, they give off deep flavors.

What I love about this recipe: A very flexible dish that you can mix and match with any other kind of veggies and herbs. This recipe is gluten-free and vegan.

Lo Mein is a favorite side for rotisserie chicken and this recipe is way better than take-out! You only need 15 minutes to make this from start to finish. The sauce is so good that you'll slurp up your plate to the last noodle. I like that it's seasoned well and there is no oily aftertaste.

There will never come a day that I'll stop eating mac and cheese! Ultimate comfort food lives up to its name. Look at that creamy and cheesy loaded macaroni with buttery topping. Who will ever resist that?

If you love your mac and cheese swimming in a bed of cheeses, this recipe is especially for you. Freshly grated cheese is highly recommended for a fantastic flavor. To avoid the pasta from becoming all mushy, be sure to coat it in butter once cooked and cooled.

Why I love this recipe: The macaroni is cooked perfectly! It has lots of cheese making it saucy and creamy even without cream. No question that anything goes well with it.

The recipe is mainly composed of crunchy and snappy vegetables giving a refreshing taste that you can not get enough of it. You can make it vegetarian, or vegan or you can add your favorite meat like chicken, beef, or pork.

Best Mashed Potatoes Recipe

A mashed potato recipe on another level because it's infused with herbs. The recipe is garlicky but still creamy, fluffy, and buttery it melts in your mouth. The secret to making this mashed potato to the smoothest cream it can be is by ricing the potato. It means grating the potatoes into very fine bits as tiny as grains of rice.

What to love about this recipe: Herbs and garlic mixed in the deepest parts of potatoes.

Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Mushrooms

These delicious mushrooms are cooked in garlic butter and herbs, making them the perfect appetizer or side dish.

The best part about these mushrooms is that they are so easy to make. All you need is some fresh mushrooms, garlic, butter, and herbs. Simply slice the mushrooms and sauté them in a pan with melted butter and minced garlic until they are cooked through.

Be sure to season them with salt and pepper to taste. Then stir in some chopped fresh parsley or thyme before serving.

Roasted Peppers & Onions

Onions and peppers are two of the most commonly roasted vegetables. They both have a slightly sweet and smoky flavor that becomes intense when roasted. Roasting brings out the natural sugars in these vegetables, making them caramelized and delicious.

I like to slice the onions fairly thin so they cook quickly and then add the bell peppers afterward so they don’t get too charred.

Macaroni Salad

There's nothing quite like a good macaroni salad to bring people together. It's the perfect dish for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues - everyone loves it!

The key to a great macaroni salad is the dressing. You want something creamy and flavorful but not too heavy or greasy.

Rotisserie chicken is a good pairing to cut off the richness of the salad.
