Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
How do I keep the chicken skin crispy?
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning and roast at a high temperature without crowding the pan.
Can I use boneless chicken thighs?
Yes, they'll cook a bit faster, so check for doneness starting around 22-25 minutes.
