Can I Make Sheet Pan Chicken with Chicken Thighs?

Chicken breast gives you a leaner meal however, many people prefer chicken thighs because it is juicier and some people think it has more flavor.

What Can I Use if I Can’t Find Dark Soy Sauce?

I choose to use dark soy sauce because it produces a more intense flavor. It lets me use less and have more flavor, rather than adding more soy sauce and adding too much salty flavor.

However, if you can not find dark soy sauce in the international section of the grocery store, you can use a light soy sauce. While it will work in the recipe, it will not produce the same intense flavor.

Another option is to add a bit of molasses or another tablespoon of brown sugar to the mixture for added rich sweetness.

What Hot Sauce is Best for the Marinade?

When you are marinating the chicken, you want to use a hot sauce that has a specific flavor profile. It is best to use a hot sauce like sriracha or an Asian-style hot sauce. These hot sauces add more than just heat to the marinade.

Can I Use Different Vegetables?

While these veggies, carrots, broccoli, and Brussel sprouts, are my go-to when I am making this recipe, you can choose whatever type of vegetables you like. Below are some other options that are great in this meal.

• Red onion, yellow onion, or green onions
• Green beans, aspargus, sugar snap peas
• Edamame
• Yellow squash or zucchini
• Broccoli or cauliflower
• Mushrooms
• Bell peppers

Just remember when using different vegetables that some will need a shorter cooking time. In this case reserve some of the marinade to toss them and add to the baking sheet halfway through cooking the chicken.

How Do I Know When the Chicken Breasts are Cooked Through?

Chicken, of any cut, needs to be cooked thoroughly. The best way to tell if chicken breasts are cooked is to use a thermometer. It is important that the chicken is cooked to at least 165°F internally. You want to stick the thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken and push it through to the middle.

If you do not have a thermometer to use, you can also check the color of the chicken. It should be white throughout and not pink. The juices should run clear when you pierce the meat with a fork. While it is important to cook the chicken all the way through, you want to make sure the chicken is not overcooked because it will be dried out. This is why using a thermometer is the best way to judge if the chicken is done.
