Cooking

  2. Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  3. For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 3-5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken in garlic and herbs for at least an hour before cooking. This recipe is versatile and pairs well with sides like a green salad or steamed vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
