# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than most lunches, which means you're actually eating well on busy weekdays instead of hitting the drive-through.
  • You control every single element, so it adapts to what's in your fridge and what your body needs that day.
  • There's something deeply satisfying about building your own bowl, like you're making a meal that's truly yours rather than following someone else's vision.
02 -
  • Cold rotisserie chicken shreds more cleanly than warm chicken, so if you're prepping ahead, chill it first and you'll save yourself frustration.
  • The sauce should complement your vegetables, not overpower them; start with less than you think you need and adjust upward because you can always add more.
03 -
  • If your rotisserie chicken has cooled completely, run it under warm water for thirty seconds before shredding and it becomes tender again without drying out.
  • Toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan for one minute right before serving and they taste exponentially better, like you've unlocked a flavor that was always hiding.
