Notes

  • For the best result and best taste, leave the chicken in the marinade overnight in the fridge. If you don't have the time, marinate for at least 30 minutes. The flavor will develop the best if you leave the meat marinated in the fridge. Take them out from the marinade at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • You don't have to leave the skin on. The skin contains fat, which brings flavor... and calories. So it depends on what you hold more dear: the taste or the nutrition.
