1
Using a large knife, cut the pre-cooked rotisserie chicken into large pieces. Separate the meat from the bones, saving the bones for later use in the chicken broth. Slice the chicken breasts into strips for the chicken salad and place on a plate for later use. Cut the remaining dark meat into smaller pieces for the chicken stew, place in a bowl, and set aside.

For the chicken stew, begin by making a broth. Place the chicken bones in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ½ of an unchopped onion, large pieces of celery, large cuts of carrot, peppercorns and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and allow to simmer for two hours.

Dice the other half of the onion, then mince the garlic and cube the potatoes and hotdogs. Melt butter in a deep pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic to the pan, stirring until the onions turn golden around the edges, then mix in the hotdogs. Add the rice and cumin, allowing the ingredients to fully incorporate before adding the potatoes. When the potatoes have softened a bit, add dried oregano and parsley, then stir.
