5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through the cooking time to keep it moist and flavorful.

6. Broil (Optional): For a caramelized finish, turn the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

7. Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
