Tips

• For extra crispy skin, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
• Feel free to add veggies like carrots or potatoes to the sheet pan for a complete meal.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F to maintain crispiness.

Serving Suggestions
