01 -

The spicy kick gets perfectly balanced by cool ranch, creating that addictive hot-cold contrast everyone craves
These come together in under 40 minutes but taste like you fussed over them all afternoon

02 -

Let the chicken cool slightly before tossing with the sauce, or it'll slide right off instead of coating properly
Dont skip the oven step—even though the chicken is cooked, those few minutes meld the flavors together in a way microwaving never will

03 -

Line your baking sheet with parchment for effortless cleanup, especially since the sauce can bubble over
Toast the bun bottoms in the oven for 2 minutes before adding the filling to prevent sogginess
