Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken pieces instead of a whole chicken?
Yes, bone-in chicken pieces work well for this recipe. Adjust the cooking time to ensure the chicken is cooked through, typically requiring 30-40 minutes at 400°F, depending on the size of the pieces.

Is it possible to make this dish in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! To prepare this dish in a slow cooker, place the seasoned chicken and all the vegetables in the cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
