It offers a convenient way to enjoy a restaurant-style meal at home without extensive cooking.

The sauce is often included in a separate packet and can be gently warmed before tossing with the chicken. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly heated through for the best texture and safety. It is best served immediately after preparation to maintain its crispiness.
