Helpful tips

I alternate between using bone-in chicken and boneless chicken to make this dish. I like it both ways. You will have to adjust the cooking time, depending on your choice.
My chicken thighs were large so they took the whole 50 minutes to cook. If your chicken thighs are on the smaller size, check after 45 minutes.
If you prefer chicken breasts, you can use them instead of the thighs. The cooking time should be the same.
You don't have to marinate the chicken but if you want to, don't let it marinate for more than 30 minutes.
