Cooking
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 7-10 minutes.
- In another pan, melt the butter on low heat. Add lemon juice, chopped parsley, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir until well combined.
- Once the chicken is cooked, toss it in the skillet with the cowboy butter until every piece is well coated. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
For a vegan version, swap chicken for firm tofu and use vegan butter. Adjust the cayenne pepper for spice preference.
