Coat the Chicken:
Pat chicken breasts dry. Rub seasoning paste evenly over both sides.

Recipe Tips

• Serve immediately for best taste and lowest histamine.

How to Store & Reheat

• Room Temperature: Serve right away; discard if left out more than 1 hour.
• Fridge: Store in airtight container up to 24 hours.
