Tips to Perfect Garlic Lemon Chicken and Potatoes
-Line your baking dish with aluminum foil to make it truly-mess free cleanup- simply lift and toss the foil when you’re done!
-Check the temperature of your chicken or get an oven safe probe thermometer to know when to remove the foil and start crisping under the broiler. You only want to cook your chicken under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp the outer skin – you don’t want to have the broiler take away all the delicious juicy flavor you’ve made by over-broiling it!
