FAQ
Can I use pre-cooked chicken for this recipe?
It is recommended to use raw chicken for the best texture and flavor. However, if you prefer pre-cooked chicken, ensure it is thinly sliced and cooled before rolling, though the flavor will differ slightly.
How do I ensure the raw chicken is safe to consume?
Ensure that the chicken you use is of the highest quality and sourced from a trusted supplier. The chicken should be kept cold throughout the preparation process, and you can also freeze the chicken briefly before slicing to reduce bacterial risks.
Can I make these rolls in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls a day ahead and store them in the fridge. However, they should be consumed within 24 hours to ensure freshness and food safety.
Is there a way to cook these rolls if I prefer them cooked?
If you prefer to cook the chicken, you can lightly sear the rolls in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes on each side, or bake them in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
