# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- Set it and forget it cooking that lets you walk away until dinner time
- The sauce creates this incredible sticky glaze that coats every single strand of chicken
02 -
- The chicken will continue absorbing flavor as it sits, so this actually tastes even better the next day
- Do not be tempted to lift the lid too often during cooking or you will lose valuable heat and extend the cooking time
03 -
- Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts if you plan to freeze portions for later
- A splash of apple cider vinegar in the sauce cuts through the sweetness beautifully
