Notes
If you want a crispier topping, you can broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste. Adding more garlic or paprika can give it an extra kick! If you have leftovers, let the chicken cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving again.
