Notes
- CHICKEN
- Use bone-in skin-on chicken thighs for the best texture and flavor. You can use boneless chicken thighs, but the cook time will need to be adjusted. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant read thermometer.
- STORAGE
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
