Notes
✅ Notes:
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain juices. Adjust chili based on spice preference. Bone-in cuts offer better flavor retention during grilling. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Pair with chimichurri, farofa, or Brazilian vinaigrette for authenticity.
