Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze any leftovers in a freezer-safe, airtight container or bag, for up to 1 month.
- Bake chicken until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- You may use bone-in, skin-on thighs, boneless skinless thighs, or even boneless skinless breasts.
- Maple syrup would be a good substitute for the honey, just know the flavor will change slightly.
