Notes

— Dry chicken is essential
for crispy skin
— Don't crowd the vegetables
they steam instead of roasting
if too crowded
— Chicken thighs are much more
forgiving than breasts —
they stay juicy even if
slightly overcooked
— Use any vegetables you have
zucchini mushrooms onions
all work perfectly
