For extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil before baking for enhanced flavor. This recipe also works well with chicken breasts, but reduce the cooking time accordingly. Consider serving with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
