Notes
Extra-speedy version: Start out with shredded cooked chicken to save time cooking and shredding or chopping it.
Cubed vs. shredded chicken: Cubed chicken has a meatier texture than shredded, but either one will work in these chili crisp chicken sandwiches.
Serving temperature: You can serve the chicken salad sandwich with chili crisp chilled or a little warmer.
Meal prep: Make the salad a day or so ahead, then keep it refrigerated until you want to assemble the sandwiches.
Season to taste: You can add salt and/or black pepper if needed.
