Notes

For extra crispy edges, pat the chicken dry before marinating. Don't skip the marinade; it's key to enhancing flavor. Experiment with different dipping sauces to cater to various tastes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results. For meal prepping, portion out the chicken into individual servings for convenience!
