   Step 1Marinate and cook chicken8 min

   Pat chicken very dry, massage all chicken ingredients in a large bowl and marinate for at least 1 hour, best overnight. Once ready, cook in an oiled pan over medium high heat, 3-5 minutes per side or until chicken is fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

   Note

   Overnight marinating gives the best flavor. Chicken breasts work just as well as thighs.
