Can You Freeze Rotisserie Chicken Salad?

You can freeze rotisserie chicken for up to 3 months and use it as you need it in your chicken salad. The rotisserie chicken salad has some ingredients like mayonnaise which can change texture when frozen, so I don’t recommend freezing this salad. If you still want to freeze it, don’t add the mayo. Add the mayo after defrosting to avoid the texture and taste change.
