Best Ways To Serve
Serve with steamed rice or warm flatbreads to balance the spice. A side of cooling cucumber salad or yogurt can help mellow the heat. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the chicken moist. Avoid freezing if you want to maintain the best texture.
