• To achieve a crispy skin, brush the chicken with a little oil before grilling.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
