FAQ:
1. Can I use frozen chicken instead of fresh chicken?
Yes, you can! Frozen chicken works just as well for this freezer meal. Simply add the ingredients to the bag, freeze, and thaw before cooking.
2. Can I cook this in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! If you prefer slow-cooked meals, you can add the frozen chicken and marinade directly into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
3. How do I know if the chicken is fully cooked?
The safest way to check is by using a meat thermometer. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
4. Can I make this recipe with other proteins?
Yes! You can use the same marinade for turkey, pork, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Adjust the cooking times accordingly.
