How do you store the leftover chicken?

If you’re planning on eating this dish again within the next 48 hours, store it in your fridge is a sealed container for later. If you’re not, then you can add it to a freezer-proof container and store it for later. Just make certain that you write the date and title of what it is so that you know what you’re unthawing when it comes time to eat.

Can you make an unspicy version of this dish?

Absolutely. If you’re wanting to make a version that isn’t spicy, just leave out the hot sauce of the dish. That way, it can take on a different taste and flavor for those who don’t want it to have that spicy kick.

What if I don’t have chicken broth for this recipe?

You can use vegetable broth or water as well. Just know that using the water will mean that you won’t have as much flavor for the chicken. You’re just wanting to add something liquid to make certain that the chicken doesn’t dry out during the cooking process.
