Vietnamese Mint Chili Lime Chicken
Chicken is marinated in our Vietnamese Mint Lime and Chili Sauce and baked in the oven until tender, slightly sticky and delicious. You can serve this Vietnamese style chicken over vermicelli noodles or rice or you can add it to Asian lettuce wraps, a banh mi style sandwich or atop salad greens with a squeeze of fresh lime.

Cut chicken into thin strips or 2 inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Add to bowl with Wozz! Vietnamese Mint Lime & Chili Sauce and marinade for 1 hour or more.
Add chicken to baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. Add another couple of tablespoons of Wozz! Vietnamese Mint Lime and Chili Sauce and turn the chicken ensuring they are evenly coated.
