Can you bake the chicken in the oven?
Absolutely! I’d do it at 375 for 20-25 minutes; until the juices run clear and the internal temp hits 165 🙂
Can this chicken be done on a smoker grill
Hi!
According to my research, yes it can but I haven’t personally done it.
Keep me posted!!!

It is! It’s spicy so feel free to use less and make it your own ☺️

Hey!
It’s on the shelf with the taco kits in my grocery store. It’s a small tin next to the salsa.
