A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring crispy skin chicken thighs roasted with vegetables and coated in a sticky honey garlic glaze. Perfect for busy weeknights and comforting meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds / 900 grams)
  • 1 cup baby carrots (about 130 grams)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 180 grams)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons honey (mild, runny honey like Clover honey recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried herbs if using.
  4. In a large bowl, combine baby carrots, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread the seasoned vegetables on the other side in a single layer.
  6. Brush the honey garlic sauce generously over the chicken thighs, reserving about 2 tablespoons for later.
  7. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the pan, baste the chicken again with the reserved sauce, and use tongs to turn the vegetables for even caramelization.
  9. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy. Vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Use a metal rimmed baking sheet for best crispiness. If vegetables brown too fast, loosely cover with foil midway through roasting. Reheat leftovers in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. For a spicy twist, add crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha. Marinating overnight is not recommended as honey may burn.
