This dish is tasty, however my chicken does not appear nicely dark and coated like the picture. I think I need more sauce.
Wondering how I would use raw chicken instead of rotisserie
You can fully cook a combination of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs in a skillet on the stovetop or in the oven, then shred the meat once it’s cool enough to handle!
