Notes

For best results, don’t skip the marinating time; even 30 minutes enhances the flavor significantly. Feel free to experiment with substitutes like chicken breasts or thighs, and you can bake the chicken at 400°F instead of grilling. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently for the best texture. If you're looking to make this kid-friendly, consider serving with a tasty dip like honey-mustard or yogurt.
