Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Absolutely, Thighs actually stay juicier since they have more fat. Just increase baking time by 5-7 minutes—you'll know they're done when they reach 165°F internally.

How do I prevent dry mashed potatoes?

Two tricks: Use warm milk (cold makes them gluey), and don't overmix. Stop mashing while there are still small lumps—they'll soften as you stir.

My glaze isn't sticking to the carrots—help!

Make sure your skillet isn't overcrowded (single layer only) and that your heat is medium—too low and the honey won't caramelize, too high and it burns.

Can I prep any components ahead?

Yes, Peel and cube potatoes the day before—keep them submerged in water in the fridge. You can also mix the chicken herb rub up to 24 hours ahead.

What's the best way to reheat leftovers?

My favorite method is the oven: Cover with foil and warm at 325°F for 15 minutes. Microwaving works too—just add a splash of water to the potatoes first.
