Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in garlic butter for a couple of hours before baking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If you like a crispy top, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
