Author's Notes

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for about 5 days. You will need to re-heat the chicken in a toaster oven or in the oven so that the crust is crispy.

Instead of chicken thighs, you can use chicken tenders or chicken breast (cut into half horizontally).
