# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes, which means you can satisfy a serious craving without the delivery wait.
  • The hot-and-creamy contrast is genuinely addictive—spicy sauce meets cool, tangy blue cheese and it just works.
  • Shredded rotisserie chicken does the heavy lifting, so this feels fancy without the fussy prep.
02 -
  • Medium heat is your friend—high heat will burn the bread before the cheese melts, and low heat means soggy disappointment.
  • Don't skip the pressing step while cooking; it seals everything together and ensures even contact with the pan for proper browning.
03 -
  • Make sure your chicken is shredded fine enough that it spreads easily and cooks through without dry spots—small, uniform pieces are your friend.
  • Use a spatula and press gently every minute or so while the sandwich cooks; this distributes heat evenly and helps the cheese melt faster without over-browning.
