Notes

Storage

Cool leftover chicken and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.

Frozen

Although we recommend using fresh or thawed chicken you can also use frozen chicken breasts when short on time. Follow the instructions for seasoning the chicken. Cook at 380˚F for 24-27 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165˚F. You can brush the chicken with more olive oil and add additional seasoning when you turn them over, depending on how much was able to stick the first time.
