  • Pound out the chicken using a meat mallet or the bottom of a mug.  This allows for even cooking and more tender chicken.
  • When possible, use fresh organic chicken breasts.
  • If needed, thaw frozen chicken breasts.
  • This seasoning is great on chicken thighs and chicken wings as well.
  • Cook chicken until it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking.  This locks in the juices.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
