  8. Cook in the preheated oven for 45 to 48 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  10. Serve warm and enjoy your effortless, one pan meal!

Notes

  • Make sure to rinse and pat dry the chicken well so the seasonings stick better.
  • Rinsing chicken in a bowl instead of under running water helps reduce bacteria spread.
  • Always wash your hands or use food-safe gloves when handling raw chicken and seasonings.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave covered, in 1-minute increments until hot.
