Notes
Line the baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking (and make clean up easier)
Make sure you rub the balsamic glaze on every part of the chicken.
Turn the chicken over halfway through cooking time to make sure it cooks evenly. Do this only once–flipping it over back and forth gets fussy and will dry it out.
Turn this into a one dish dinner by adding sliced carrots and potatoes to roast in the dish along with the chicken.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container, or wrapped tightly in aluminum foil. It will keep in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the oven until it reaches 165°F.
