For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Feel free to experiment with other spices like paprika, onion powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a customized flavor profile.
This recipe works equally well with boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Serve with roasted vegetables, rice pilaf, or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

    The resting time is crucial! Don't skip it. Makes a huge difference in the juiciness of the chicken.
