Notes

🍯 Substitute peach preserves with peach jam or jelly if needed.
πŸ‘ Fresh peaches work best, but canned or frozen peaches can be used as alternatives.
🌢️ Remove jalapeno seeds and membranes to reduce heat; adjust jalapeno amount to preference.
πŸ— Chicken thighs deliver more flavor and moisture compared to breasts.
❄️ Store leftovers airtight in fridge for 3-4 days or freezer for 2-3 months; reheat gently with added moisture.
🍚 Double glaze if serving over rice or mashed potatoes.
🧊 For freezing, prepare chicken without glaze and apply fresh glaze after thawing.
