Perfect for hot summer days when it's just too warm to cook.Start this the day before you plan to serve it, as the chicken needs to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.It's a good way to use up leftover roast chicken or a chicken from your favorite store's deli. From an April 1986 issue of Bon Appetit in the Too Busy To Cook? section.
