Notes
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For the juiciest reheated chicken, add a splash of chicken broth to the dish before microwaving or baking.
- Serve this flavorful chicken alongside roasted vegetables and a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Chef's tip: For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
