Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Add all marinade ingredients to a zip-top bag, seal, and massage to coat the chicken evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Chicken is best fresh but will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Dipping sauce keeps for up to 1 week in the fridge.
