- Allow the chicken to marinate overnight for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a cast iron skillet or grill pan for cooking the chicken. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly and gets nice and crispy.

- Use a mix of fresh herbs and spices if you want to customize the flavors even further.
- Serve with a side of white rice, green beans, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
- Make sure to let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking before serving.
