Notes

This recipe is ideal for repurposing leftovers, specifically rotisserie chicken and cooked, crisp bacon.
Be sure to use the specific ingredients called for, especially the real mayonnaise and maple syrup instead of pancake syrup. These main ingredients are key to the final flavor of the recipe.
DO NOT attempt to freeze leftovers. Mayonnaise separates when thawing and it won't taste well anymore.
