Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized at edges.
Step 2: While sweet potatoes roast, season 6 bone-in chicken thighs with 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika on both sides.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp olive oil.
Step 4: Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and edges are crispy. Flip and cook 3 minutes more.
Step 5: Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the chicken thighs, spooning some over the skin. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 15 minutes until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F and glaze thickens.
Step 6: Remove chicken and sweet potatoes from oven. Let chicken rest 5 minutes. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and serve alongside the roasted sweet potatoes.
