This recipe was great but spicey. I will make this a lot but without the red pepper flakes. Even my kids loved this!

We love this recipe! The chicken also freezes very well. Just combine oil, seasonings, and chicken per the recipe, and freeze in the resealable bags. It finishes marinating as it thaws, and makes a wonderfully quick dinner.

This recipe is a favorite in my eighth grade Family and Consumer Education classroom. We marinate the chicken over night to reduce prep time on foods lab day.
