Notes
- SUBSTITUTIONS
- OTHER NOTES:
- Rice Vinegar: You can use apple cider vinegar instead, if needed.
- Sesame Oil: This adds delicious flavor to the sauce. You can use olive oil, but it may alter the flavor.
- Cornstarch: You can use arrowroot instead.
- You can use this marinade for any type of chicken (drumsticks, breasts, wings). However, you may need to adjust the cook time to ensure the chicken is cooked through until an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- You can prep the marinade up to 2 days in advance and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
