In our family, eating real whole foods is important and so I’m constantly on the hunt for new ways to enjoy delicious food that’s simple, easy-to-make, but also made from real ingredients without added preservatives or chemicals.

    ok, now I’m hungry!! LOL my husband can’t eat chicken so I can do this with turkey thighs! Thank you Chrissie!

  8. Marie says

    Just wondering if I could do this on the BBQ instead of the stove oven cause the weather is warm and we prefer cooking outside, if I can, does the cooking time still the same? Thank you, can’t wait to try it !!!!

    • Chrissie says

      Yes, just grill it until it reaches the correct internal temperature! 🙂

    I’m wondering if I could layer some potatoes on the bottom of the roasting pan if the chicken is on the rack? Thanks so much! Trying for dinner this evening!
