Special Precautions and Tips:
- Do not marinate the chicken for longer than 24 hours, as the acidity of the marinade can begin to break down the proteins in the chicken.
- If you are grilling the chicken, make sure to preheat the grill to high heat to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- When pan-frying the chicken, use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and burning.
