Cookโ€™s Notes ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ”น Adjust spice level โ€“ more chili flakes = more heat! ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ
๐Ÿ”น Marinate longer โ€“ overnight = maximum flavor infusion!
๐Ÿ”น Make it smoky โ€“ add a dash of liquid smoke!
๐Ÿ”น Balance flavors โ€“ honey adds sweetness to counter the spice! ๐Ÿฏ
๐Ÿ”น Double the batch โ€“ use as a dipping sauce for extra heat!
