To prepare, simply heat the contents of the package. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly heated through and the sauce is bubbling. Alternatively, you can transfer the chicken and sauce to a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. For a richer flavor, some people like to simmer it gently on the stovetop for a bit longer to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain cooked chicken, this product comes with a pre-made sauce that provides a distinct sweet and savory flavor profile. It differs from other pre-made chicken meals by focusing on the specific maple bourbon taste, which is often less common than more general barbecue or teriyaki flavors.
How to keep the rest
