the absolute king of lazy night recipes was something I attribute to my mom:

hot rotisserie chicken from the supermarket, hand-shredded and served in dinner rolls, with mayonnaise, tomato slices, salt, and pepper

these roast chicken sliders are perfect

you can’t monkey with them at all without making them worse: don’t add cheese, don’t fancy them up, no gravy, no hot sauce, it’s perfect

There are few dinners that outperform “roasted chicken on soft dinner rolls with mayonnaise and tomato and salt and pepper”

It’s good with a supermarket rotisserie chicken, or roast your own, whatever

editor’s note: this was the last thing I was able to taste before COVID stole away my sense of taste for the holidays. Fortunately, it came back in a week or so.

editor’s note 2: rotisserie chickens from the store are also called “bachelor’s handbags” because single men buying a purse full of hot chicken for dinner is such a common thing
