Step 1
Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding bones. Set skin aside for garnish if desired.
Step 2
Mix brown sugar, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 4
Add shredded chicken and the dry rub mixture. Stir constantly for 3 minutes until edges start to crisp and smell smoky.
