[1] 6 or, you know, as many as seem appropriate. I don't know your life.

[2] by "season" I mean "douse liberally" and rub it all in. aww yeah. you know you like that.

[3] alternatively, you can transfer the chicken to the pan with the veggies, but I find it's just easier to use the cast iron in the oven.
