Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475°F. Coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set it on a large rimmed baking sheet.

This is absolutely delicious! I had my thermometer in my thighs (that is what I had) so I'd be sure my chicken was done but kept the same cooking temperature. I noticed my chicken was getting quite dark so I did reduce the temp a bit the last 5 minutes I cooked my thighs. The sauce is fabulous with the chicken and we will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!!
