The $6 rotisserie chicken at Costco taught me I'd been cooking wrong for years

I used to buy raw whole chickens at $1.29 a pound and roast them myself every Sunday, thinking I was saving money. Then my sister in Fresno pointed out that a $6 rotisserie bird feeds us for three dinners plus soup, and raw ones cost me more once I count the oven gas and time. Last week I skipped the roasting pan and just shredded the store bird into tacos and a pot of rice, and nobody at the table noticed a difference. What's your go-to meal when you let someone else do the heavy lifting?
