LisaDiepCooks Notes:
- Chicken: I prefer free range, note pieces are smaller than regular chicken, so use less if pieces are large. You can substitute for chicken merryland or boneless thighs (if so reduce cooking time by about 10 mins)
- Marinade: only needs 15 minutes, you can make ahead and leave overnight in fridge.
- Leftovers: great the next day! The batch I made was enough for 2 dinners!
