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.
- 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 165F.
