# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The tender, herb-marinated chicken feels like a secret shortcut to deliciousness that I always want to share.
- The medley of roasted vegetables brings natural sweetness and color, making it a favorite for both taste and presentation.
02 -
- Letting the chicken rest after roasting locks in juiciness and prevents dryness—something I wish I had learned sooner.
- Using a rimmed baking sheet keeps all those lovely juices from spilling over and helps caramelize the veggies around the chicken.
03 -
- Patting chicken dry before seasoning helps the herb rub stick better and creates a beautiful roast.
- The secret that makes all the difference is not overcrowding the baking sheet—each piece needs room to roast and caramelize instead of steam.
