Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, add some chopped fresh rosemary to the marinade.
• If grilling, make sure to oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
• To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165°F.
• If frying, do not overcrowd the skillet or fryer. Fry in batches to ensure even cooking and crispy results.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover grilled or fried 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 for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the chicken as a main course with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
• Alternatively, slice the chicken and use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
