Make-Ahead and Freezing Instructions

To Make Ahead: Marinating the chicken for as long as possible will improve the flavors. To make the satay ahead, marinate the chicken one to two days in advance. 

To Freeze: Prepare the marinade and pour it into a freezer-safe bag. Add the chicken, remove all the air, and freeze it for up to three months. Defrost and cook as usual.
