Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 1.5 lbs chicken thighs dry and season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp dried thyme.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Brush half of the mixture over the chicken thighs.
  3. Step 3: Place 1 cup chopped carrots and 1 lb quartered potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Arrange the chicken thighs on top, skin-side up. Drizzle the remaining honey-balsamic mixture over the vegetables and chicken.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, basting occasionally with pan juices. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
