Can I double this recipe for a crowd?

Yes, but make sure your baking dish or slow cooker has room. I once tried to cram double into a small dish and dinner was delayed while we improvised a second oven rack.

Can I make this in a slow cooker instead of the oven?

Absolutely. Layer everything into a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours. It becomes a true slow cooker comfort meal.

What’s the best side to serve with this?

Mashed potatoes, rice, or a simple green salad all work beautifully. Pick one starch and one bright vegetable for balance.

Is it okay to use bone-in thighs?

Yes, but they will take longer. Add about 10-15 minutes to baking time and check for doneness with a thermometer.

How do I make it less garlicky for picky eaters?

Reduce to 2 cloves and add a bay leaf during cooking, removing before serving. The garlic will be more subtle but still present.
