How Far In Advance To Make

You want to give the chicken time to soak up the flavors of the marinade/sauce. It works great to mix all the ingredients together in a ziplock bag in the morning and refrigerate until supper time. Or you can freeze for up to 3 months. Go ahead and make 2 or 3 batches so you have some extra freezer meals stashed away.
