This is a super-easy but highly flavorful chicken dish that makes a great dinner, but we also love to pack cold leftovers for lunch. Although we call for drumsticks and thighs, you can use any cut of chicken you like. If you want to get a head start on tomorrow’s dinner, put all the ingredients in a zipper-lock bag and refrigerate overnight.
