Notes
Got leftovers? No worries! This chicken stays fresh in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Pop it in an airtight container and enjoy it cold in a salad or reheated with some rice. Want to save it for later? It can be frozen for up to 3 months; just make sure to wrap it tight so nothing gets freezer burned. Tips: Marinate longer for more flavor, use fresh herbs if available, and consider non-chicken options.
