• For a spicier flavor, add a teaspoon of chili paste or chili flakes to the marinade.
• Make sure to let the chicken rest before carving to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat moist.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chicken in the oven or microwave until heated through.
• Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
