Notes
• To make sure that your chicken turns out juicy and flavorful, let it marinate overnight.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F before you remove it from the oven.
• For extra crunchy skin, brush some olive oil over the chicken before baking.
