3. Place the chicken in the baking dish and coat evenly with the marinade.
4. Bake for 22–28 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Notes
Add extra hot sauce or chili flakes if you prefer more heat.
Chicken thighs can be substituted for a juicier option.
Reserve a small portion of feta to sprinkle fresh on top after baking.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for up to 24 hours before cooking.
