Grill on medium high for a 3-4 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bite size pieces.° Bake chicken: drizzle breasts or thighs with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bite size pieces. ° Sous vide chicken: at 144F/62C for 1.5 to a maximum of 4 hours. Here is a recipe to follow for sous vide chicken if you need one.
• COOK SAUCE AND TOSS WITH CHICKEN: Heat skillet to medium high. Add sauce and cook, stirring, until it starts to boil and thicken about 3-4 minutes. Add chicken and stir to coat.
