KEEP IT SIMPLE COOKING PROCESS:

Prep chicken marinade, add chicken. Let marinate while you prep everything else

Prep cucumber salad, place in fridge

Prep spicy mayo, place in fridge

There will be a ton of extra sauce - this amount fills ~1 sriracha bottle, and I like to store it in an empty bottle I used previously. Lasts for 1-2 weeks refrigerated.

You can easily double this recipe if you want a larger bulk meal prep for freezer storage! Just multiply everything by 2 🤝
