Ingredients
  

  • 1 preserved lemon

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked chicken for up to two months. Just make sure it's well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
  • Spice it Up: For extra heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • Herb Infusion: Experiment with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist.
  • Citrus Variation: Try using other citrus fruits like oranges or limes for a different flavor profile.
