"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Directions:

Personal Notes:
Serve with buttered white rice and fresh cut pineapple. Cooked chicken can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Marinade may be mixed up 7 days before adding chicken.

Grill: I recommend pounding the chicken flat before marinating to ensure it cooks through evenly. Cook over high heat 2 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temp of 165°F

Frying pan: cook in olive oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet for 5-7 minutes per side

Air fryer: I recommend pounding the chicken before marinating. Cook at 390°F/ 200°C for 4 minutes + 2 minutes (flipping half way).
