Notes
- Marinate the chicken for up to 3 hours for the best and tastiest results! I know I know, sometimes we don’t have 3 hours, so be sure to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- If you don’t have a jalapeno on hand for the peanut sauce, grab a serrano or habanero pepper. And if you don’t have any of those, some red chili flakes or cayenne pepper will do the trick too!
