To prepare, you will typically need to heat the contents of the package. This often involves placing the chicken and sauce into a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stirring occasionally helps to ensure even heating and that the sauce coats the chicken thoroughly. Some preparation methods may suggest adding a small amount of water or oil to help create a smoother sauce consistency.
