This has become my go-to for cooking chicken for the week. It’s a great flavor combination (1 substituted 1 Tablespoon of coconut palm sugar and added some smoked paprika to the seasonings). I also used the flat side of a meat mallet to have the chicken be the same thickness through-out. My husband requested I make this again which is super high praise!
Thank you! Glad to hear.
The mallet is a great idea, I’ll have to try that!
I do batches too and use it all week, baking is the way to go for efficiency and less mess!
