Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss 4 medium peeled carrots cut into 2-inch pieces and 1 lb halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme; spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes until tender and golden.
2. Step 2: While vegetables roast, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 6 bone-in chicken thighs with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, then place skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp and golden, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.
3. Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1/4 cup water to the skillet with chicken. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes, spooning the honey-garlic glaze over the chicken until sauce thickens and coats the meat beautifully.
4. Step 4: Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 3 minutes before serving alongside the roasted carrots and potatoes, drizzled with any remaining glaze from the pan.
