When you are preparing your chicken to put in the marinade, pierce the chicken with a fork. Piercing the chicken with a fork all over helps the marinade to seep in. This allows the chicken to be juicy and full of flavor.

We recommend marinating the chicken for at last 30 minutes or overnight.

Bake Chicken – If you do not want to grill your chicken, you can bake it. Use your broiler for the last 5 minutes to get that crispy topping.

You can store the leftover chicken in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. It’s best to store the chicken separately instead of storing the assembled sandwiches.
