# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Secrets out: the marinade is magic, bringing just enough brightness and heat to make everything irresistible.
  • Every veggie comes out perfectly roasted—no sogginess, just sweetness and flavor that keep you coming back.
02 -
  • If you overcrowd the pan, the veggies steam instead of roast and won't caramelize.
  • Marinating the chicken even for just 15 minutes makes a noticeable difference in flavor—don't skip it if you can.
03 -
  • Use parchment to help the edges of veggies caramelize without sticking.
  • Brushing the marinade evenly on both sides of chicken seals in moisture and boosts the taste.
