- Customizing the Flavor: Add extra sriracha for more heat or use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter sauce.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with fries, coleslaw, or a side salad for a complete meal.

- Storage Tips: Store leftover chicken separately and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
