Tips
- Using parchment paper can make the chicken crispier and stick less, but foil also works.
- If making a small batch, you can partially cook the chicken, then add vegetables to the same tray and return to the oven.
- The cornstarch in the sauce helps to thicken it and makes the chicken crispy and sticky.
