Common Questions

What type of chicken works best?

Bone-in, skin-on thighs provide the juiciest result, though breasts or drumsticks can be used.

Can I use different vegetables?

Yes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, or bell peppers work well in place of sweet potatoes and green beans.

Is parchment paper necessary?

Parchment paper isn’t required but helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup much easier.

How do I prevent dry chicken?

Roast until just cooked through, and use sauce to help keep thighs moist and flavorful.

Can I make this dish ahead?

Yes, prep ingredients and store in the fridge, then bake when ready for a convenient meal.

Is this suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely. Portion leftovers into containers for quick reheating throughout the week.
