Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs longer, up to 24 hours, in the refrigerator. You can also switch up the protein in this recipe; try using chicken breasts, pork chops, or even tofu. Always check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe eating.
