Notes
Optimize Roasting: To achieve perfectly crispy skin on the chicken, ensure that the chicken thighs are dried thoroughly before seasoning. This helps to promote browning during roasting. Flavor Variations: Experiment with different seasonings such as Italian herbs, lemon zest, or a dash of chili powder to customize the flavor profile. This allows you to switch things up and keep the dish exciting!
