💡 Tips for best results

• Use thighs if you want extra juiciness; breasts work too but can dry out slightly.
• For deeper flavor, marinate chicken in sauce for 30 minutes to 2 hours before cooking.
• Leftovers freeze well—just store sauce and chicken together.

If you want, I can give you a 5-minute prep version for ultra-busy nights that’s just as flavorful. Do you want me to do that?
