⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
5
Bake 30 minutes, flip and bake another 15 minutes, until the chicken thighs are browned and the tahini peeks through.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
