Can I use bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless breasts?
Yes. Thighs will require 5–10 minutes longer cooking time. Check that internal temperature reaches 165°F before serving.
How do I know when the chicken is done?
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast. It should read 165°F. The internal juices should run clear.
Can I prep this ahead of time?
Yes. Toss all ingredients in the pan up to 4 hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Add 5–10 minutes to baking time if starting from cold.
What temperature should I bake this at?
The recipe uses a standard oven. Bake at 400°F until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature, typically 25–30 minutes depending on chicken thickness.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes. Use two sheet pans or a larger pan, and increase all ingredients proportionally. Baking time should remain the same.
