How to Make One-Pan Roast Chicken

Camila's Tips
- If using chicken parts, roast the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit and thighs/drumsticks reach 175 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant-read thermometer, about 35 to 40 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through cooking.
- Allow the chicken to rest for at least 10-15 minutes after taking it out of the oven. This lets the juices redistribute, ensuring the meat is moist and tender.
- Experiment with different vegetables based on the season. Root vegetables work well in the winter, while asparagus and bell peppers are great for spring and summer roasts.
