Notes
To store your leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to reheat, gently warm them in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the glaze and restore their original luscious texture. Voilà, they're ready to be devoured all over again!
