💡 Cooking Tips
- Grill extra chicken to prep meals ahead for the week.
- Resting the chicken after cooking keeps it juicy and tender.
- Try adding a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra flavor kick.
- Always check the chicken is cooked through—juices should run clear, not pink.
