Notes

To store leftovers, let the chicken cool completely. Then, place it in an airtight container in the fridge to stay fresh for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of chili powder or hot sauce to the brown sugar mixture. You can also substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner cut.
