Notes

Always use tongs instead of a fork to turn the chicken to retain juiciness. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings for variety. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for the best results, avoiding the microwave to keep the meat juicy.
