Tips:
To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh.
The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
For a crispier chicken, roast for an additional 10-15 minutes after the cooking time is complete.
You can add other vegetables to the roasting pan, such as carrots, celery, or onions.
Leftover chicken and potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
