Why This Is Worth Making

Leftover roast chicken makes a fine sandwich, and the trick is to treat it as a main ingredient rather than something to hide. Moisten it, season it and give it company.

Keep the chicken off the fridge shelf for 15 minutes before building, because cold meat tastes of very little. Pull or slice the breast and thigh, and use both. The dark meat is juicier, and it balances the dryness of the breast.

Mayonnaise is the glue. Season the mayonnaise itself with a little lemon juice, salt and pepper, and spread it right to the corners.

Tomato goes next to the chicken, with a pinch of salt on the slices. Lettuce goes on the outside, away from the wet, to stay crisp. Soft white or brown bread works best, as crusty rolls squeeze out the filling when you bite. A little chopped tarragon or chives in the mayonnaise makes it taste more like a deli sandwich.
