Expert Tips 

• Cut of Chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and legs retain moisture and add flavor. For chicken breasts, baste with extra sauce to prevent dryness.
• Vegetables: Feel free to add carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers for variety.
• Double Sauce: Make extra sauce for drizzling over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
• Meal Prep: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
