To prepare these bourbon BBQ chicken chunks, you can heat them in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat until they are warmed through. Alternatively, you can place them on a baking sheet and heat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Microwaving is also an option, following package directions. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly heated before serving to enjoy its full flavor and texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike raw chicken, these chunks are already cooked and seasoned, saving preparation time. The fire-grilled aspect adds a distinct smoky char that differentiates them from simply baked or pan-fried chicken. The bourbon BBQ sauce offers a specific sweet and savory taste that may vary from other barbecue sauces.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused chicken chunks in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within 2-3 days. If you do not plan to use them within this timeframe, they can be refrozen, although the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
