minutesThis is such a delicious recipe with a mix of wonderful flavors. Sometimes I buy bone in skin on thighs but sometimes I buy bone in skin on breasts and cut the in half. It really is what I see at the market or what I am in the mood for. Thighs tend to be juicier and easier but breasts and a bit healthier. You can do boneless, skinless chicken breasts but watch the time.
