Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight. If you don't have evaporated milk, you can substitute it with a mixture of regular milk and cream. Adding a splash of lemon juice to the marinade can enhance the taste. Make sure to keep an eye on the broiler to prevent burning, as cooking times can vary.
