Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use boneless chicken thighs?

Yes. Reduce the cooking time by about 10 minutes.

Can I substitute chicken breasts?

Yes, but be careful not to overcook them since they cook faster than thighs.

Can I prepare this ahead?

Absolutely. Marinate the chicken overnight for even more flavor.

How do I know when the chicken is done?

Use a meat thermometer. The thickest part should reach 165°F (74°C). Roasted honey-garlic chicken recipes commonly rely on this temperature for safe doneness and juicy results. (Kitchen Swagger)
