NOTES & TIPS
To get this seasoning mix to stick to the chicken and asparagus, toss both of them in a ziplock bag with olive oil before rolling them around in the seasoning. Then arrange them on an oven-safe baking dish. Any baking dish, tray, sheet, or platter will do — as long as it’s large enough for the chicken pieces to lie in a single layer.
