FAQ

Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead?
A: Yes! Bone-in or boneless thighs work well, but adjust baking time to ensure they’re cooked through.

Q: Can this be made ahead of time?
A: Assemble the chicken and topping, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if cold from the fridge.
