- To ensure the chicken is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer and insert it into the thickest part of the thigh. It should read an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For a crispier skin, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking.
- You can substitute any fresh herbs for the rosemary, such as thyme or oregano.
