Baked chicken with autumn salad

This recipe is a combination of wonderful autumn gifts that I’ve combined with baked chicken. Salad with water kefir dressing definitely goes well with this tasty bite – because #goodbacteria.
I’ve been roasting chicken this way for years now because it’s crispy on the outside and the meat remains juicy.
