Chicken skin can add a lot of calories and fat to your meal. I would recommend cooking the chicken with the skin on, so your meal absorbs a lot of the flavor of the chicken skin, and then remove the skin before serving.

This sauce is incredible. I had leftovers and the sauce made the chicken reheat nicely. I will definitely make this again, and make it again soon!! This is the first recipe I made of yours. I look forward to checking out more!
