- 1/2 cup hot sauce (preferably your favorite local brand)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the hot sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Mix well to create a thick marinade.
- Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
