Notes
Marinate for Extra Flavor: Let the chicken soak in the sauce for an hour before cooking—it makes it extra tasty!
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and ginger give the dish a vibrant, restaurant-style flavor.
Broil for a Crispy Finish: After shredding, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes for a slightly crispy texture.
Garnish Like a Pro: Add a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a zesty, nutty touch!
