The Kirkland Signature rotisserie chicken is an essential purchase. Many shoppers hardly ever leave the warehouse without a tantalizing, aromatic chicken in their basket. I divide the best parts (the breast meat and thighs) on a plate, add hickory-smoked baked beans and coleslaw, and dinner is served. The rest of the meat goes into the freezer for chicken stock.
I also love the Kirkland Signature hand-pulled rotisserie-chicken breast meat. Each no-frills pouch weighs nearly 3 pounds, so I like to repackage the chicken into three small Ziploc bags and freeze them. I like to smother it with barbecue sauce for sliders, glaze it with Kinder's teriyaki marinade and sauce for rice bowls, or simmer it with noodles for a chunky homemade soup.
The plump, juicy Kirkland Signature farm-raised tail-on raw shrimp is always a winner. We grill shrimp with lime and Mexican-inspired spices for fajitas, sauté them for scampi, or toss them with seasoned breadcrumbs and oven-bake them for dippers. Each bag gives us three meals for two people.
When I need a delicious flavor booster, I reach for the Kirkland Signature imported basil pesto. After I've used a bit of the jar, I spoon the remaining sauce into an ice-cube tray and freeze it. There are so many ways to use this pesto - we add it to a creamy spinach dip or pasta, and it elevates the dish instantly.
