Notes

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs: Chicken thighs stay moist and tender during roasting
  • If you prefer, you can substitute with boneless skinless chicken breasts but adjust cooking time to prevent drying out
  • Kosher Salt: All recipes tested with Morton kosher salt for best flavor and size
  • If using table salt, reduce amounts accordingly
  • Cut Your Vegetables Evenly: This ensures even roasting and proper caramelization
  • Use a Food Thermometer: Chicken should reach 165°F to be fully cooked and safe to eat
