Serving Advice
Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to add color and balance. A side of garlic butter or a tangy dipping sauce can also complement the flavors well. This meal pairs nicely with a light white wine or a refreshing iced tea.
Leftover Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the chicken skin crispy and the potatoes warm. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the potatoes soggy.
