Instructions
Soak the Vermicelli

Add Noodles and Toss

- Drain the vermicelli well and add it to the bag.
- Toss and gently massage the bag until the noodles are fully coated and evenly mixed with the chicken and sauce.

Notes
- Soaking vermicelli off heat prevents overcooking and keeps the texture springy.
- Mixing directly in the bag captures the rotisserie juices and intensifies flavor without extra dishes.
- Letting the noodles rest for a few minutes before serving helps the sauce fully absorb and cling.
- If you prefer stronger flavors and seasonings, multiply the portions of seasonings listed above to your preference, but try keep the same proportions for a balanced flavor.
