Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 12 oz bone-in chicken thighs skin-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss 12 oz diced sweet potatoes and 2 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then spread around the chicken.
  2. Step 2: Whisk 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp dried thyme in a small bowl. Pour evenly over the chicken and vegetables, using tongs to coat everything thoroughly.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 22-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender with crispy edges, flipping chicken halfway through cooking.
