❓ FAQs
Why is this chicken so tender?
The Caesar dressing acts as both a marinade and sauce, keeping the chicken moist.
Can I prep this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble up to 24 hours in advance and bake when ready.
Do I need to flip the chicken?
No—baking uncovered allows the topping to brown while the chicken stays juicy.
