Tips:

Ensure the chicken is at room temperature before cooking. This will help it cook evenly throughout.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will help prevent undercooked chicken.

If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
