Scale

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
