Tips and Tricks
- Consider using frozen rice to speed up the prep time. It’s a convenient option for busy nights.
- Opt for heavy-duty foil to ensure the packet holds up well on the grill and prevents spillage, facilitating an easy cleanup.
- If grilling isn’t an option, you can bake the foil packets in the oven at 425 degrees F for around 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
