Notes
I turn my chicken over a couple of times while it is in the refrigerator marinating. This chicken was marinated about 22 hours.
My 1 1/2 pounds of chicken thighs was 6 pieces, 3 larger and 3 smaller pieces. I cooked them all the same amount of time and they came out great.
I store this chicken cut up in the refrigerator. I warm it up in a skillet with a little bit of water, I just warm it through and then cook the water out (by turning up the heat and stirring while the water cooks out). You could use the microwave, but that might dry it out.
