# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You’ll secretly relish how little effort it takes to create maximum flavor and color.
  • I found myself repeating this dish all summer just because everyone asks for seconds.
02 -
  • Piling the veggies too close together leads to steaming, not roasting—spreading them out really matters for those caramelized edges.
  • Letting the chicken rest makes all the difference; cutting too soon loses those precious juices.
03 -
  • Let the chicken come to room temperature while the oven preheats for juicier results.
  • Marinating overnight is next-level, so if you plan ahead, it’s worth it.
