# Expert advice:

01 -
  • The radishes become surprisingly sweet, almost like baby turnips but with their own unique flavor
  • Everything cooks on one pan, so cleanup takes about three minutes flat
02 -
  • Crowding the pan steams instead of roasts, so use two pans if needed or spread everything in a single layer
  • Letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes after roasting helps the juices redistribute so every bite stays moist
03 -
  • Marinate the chicken up to 4 hours ahead for deeper flavor penetration
  • Check the vegetables at 25 minutes since smaller pieces cook faster than larger ones
