Notes

To store leftover tender chicken, let it cool down to room temperature. Place it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken is cooked through; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Marinate the chicken for more flavor and tenderness.
