Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheating in a skillet with broth or in the microwave in short intervals to prevent drying out.
The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F to be fully cooked.
To make gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. Check to make sure chili garlic sauce is also gluten-free.
To thicken the sauce, add a little cornstarch slurry (equal mix of cornstarch and water) near the end of cooking. Adjust the amount up or down depending on preference.
