Easy Rotisserie Chicken Wraps

I want to start by saying – I love a shortcut and you should never be ashamed to take one! Weekly I will buy a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket and put the meat to heaps of uses, it saves so much time and is cost effective. This recipe is super adaptable as by changing the spice mix used I can be transported to any country I like! Leftovers are delicious on a baked potato or in a sandwich the next day, and its also a delicious topped for nachos!

Kids absolutely love the create your own feeling of this, and its great for feeding a crowd as everyone can just choose what toppings they like




Firstly, choose your spice mix, and then you’re good to go – the below are to make a small jar of spice mix that you can keep to use as and when you need, they even work great as a dry rub or as a marinade when mixed with a little olive oil or yoghurt.

** if you don't want to use a homemade spice mix then simply buy a readymade one - I highly recommend GP Spices
