Tips

  • For best results, marinate the chicken for 2-4 hours, but it can also be cooked immediately.
  • Let the marinated chicken come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can use the excess juices from the cooked chicken as a broth or base for soups.
  • The chicken can be used in high protein bowls, tacos, quesadillas, or paired with air-fried vegetables.
