Hi Winnie! I tried this recipe yesterday, and it was delicious! I had 6 chicken thighs though, and they were kind of thick, so I baked it for 35 minutes. It was juicy and cooked perfectly! I’m always looking for quick easy recipes to prep meals for the week, and I’ll definitely keep this one in the rotation. Thank you!
