   Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.

    Carefully remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

    Ongeveer 15 min

    Tip van de kok: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C (165°F).

    Tip van de kok: Resting allows the juices in the chicken to redistribute, making it more tender.
