Notes
Trim excess fat from chicken before cooking for a better sauce texture. If you do not have fresh garlic, you can substitute with 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
