  3. Fry wrappers in small batches for 10–20 seconds, flipping once, until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels. Lightly salt
  4. Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken  in large pieces, place in a single layer on parchment paper on a baking sheet
  5. Brush the skin with a thin layer of honey before re-crisping the skin. Roast for 5–6 min
  6. Pull all the chicken meat from the carcass and shred into smaller pieces, place in a bowl. Heat chicken in the microwave until warm, but not too hot. Reserve.
