Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Serve with a crisp, mixed green salad tossed with your favorite KRAFT Dressing to round out the meal.

Note

Don't be alarmed if you tear the skin a bit - the chicken will still be deliciously moist.

Note

Baking the chicken and potatoes in separate pans makes it easy to reserve the flavorful juices of the chicken in one pan while the potatoes are baked to crisp and golden brown-perfection in the other pan.
