Notes
Choosing the Right Chicken: You can use bone-in chicken thighs or chicken breasts, but be mindful that bone-in chicken may require a longer cooking time.
Even Cooking: Cut the baby potatoes into uniform pieces for even roasting.
Customizing the Dish: Feel free to experiment with different herbs, spices, or vegetables.
Storing Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
