Notes
Storage: Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a covered skillet over low heat. Make-Ahead: You can sear the chicken and prepare the sauce up to 24 hours in advance; store separately in the fridge. Combine and bake when ready. Variations: Substitute chicken drumsticks or breasts (adjust cook time). For extra heat, add a diced Thai chili with the garlic. Serve over jasmine rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.
