Recipe
Costco Chicken Chili Noodles
Springy rice vermicelli tossed with juicy rotisserie chicken in a creamy, spicy Korean chili sauce made right in the bag.
Method
Soak the Vermicelli
- 01Bring a large pot of water to a full boil, then remove it from heat.
- 02Add the rice vermicelli, fully submerge, and soak for about 10 minutes until just tender.
Prepare the Chicken
- 03Remove the rotisserie chicken from the bag and strip off all the meat, discarding the skin.
- 04Shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and return it to the bag with the reserved juices.
Bloom the Green Onions
- 05Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter, sesame oil, and green onion whites.
- 06Stir and let everything warm and bloom for about 1 minute.
Add Noodles and Toss
- 07Add mayo, soy sauce, chili crisp, gochujang, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and green onion greens directly into the chicken bag.
- 08Drain the vermicelli well and add it to the bag.
- 09Toss and gently massage the bag until the noodles are fully coated and evenly mixed with the chicken and sauce.
- 10Top with extra chili crisp if desired and serve.
Chef's note
- Soaking vermicelli off heat prevents overcooking and keeps the texture springy.
- Mixing directly in the bag captures the rotisserie juices and intensifies flavor without extra dishes.
- Letting the noodles rest for a few minutes before serving helps the sauce fully absorb and cling.
- If you prefer stronger flavors and seasonings, multiply the portions of seasonings listed above to your preference, but try keep the same proportions for a balanced flavor.
