A simple and delicious sheet pan dinner featuring crispy honey garlic chicken thighs and roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower honey works great)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for chicken)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
  • 1 cup baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold recommended)
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for vegetables)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin-side up on one side of a large rimmed sheet pan.
  4. In another bowl, combine carrots, bell pepper, baby potatoes, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until lightly coated.
  5. Spread the vegetables evenly on the other side of the sheet pan in a single layer.
  6. Drizzle about two-thirds of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables, reserving the rest for after cooking.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken skin is golden and crispy and vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. Halfway through cooking, stir the vegetables and baste the chicken with some pan juices.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. Spoon the reserved honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables while still hot for a shiny, sticky finish.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite grain or a simple green salad.

Notes

Patting chicken dry before seasoning is essential for crispy skin. Roast vegetables in a single layer to avoid sogginess. Baste chicken halfway through cooking for extra flavor and juiciness. Broil for last 2-3 minutes if more crispiness is desired, watching carefully to avoid burning. Sauce can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
