Can I use chicken breasts instead?

Absolutely—but reduce bake time to 25-30 minutes since they cook faster. And please, for the love of juicy chicken, don’t skip pounding them to even thickness first.

Why is my chicken skin not crispy?

Two culprits: not patting the chicken dry before seasoning, or overcrowding the pan. Give each thigh its personal space, and that skin will crisp up like a dream.

Can I prep this ahead?

You bet, Toss everything together (except lemon slices—add those right before baking) and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. The herbs actually get happier as they marinate.

Can I freeze leftovers?

The chicken freezes great for up to 3 months, but veggies get mushy. I’d eat those fresh and just freeze extra chicken portions for future quick meals.
