Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes until skin is golden brown and crispy.
  3. Step 3: Flip chicken thighs and cook for 2 more minutes, then transfer skillet to oven and roast for 20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
  4. Step 4: While chicken roasts, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5: Remove skillet from oven, transfer chicken to a plate, and pour honey-garlic glaze over chicken; set aside.
  6. Step 6: Add 1/2 cup diced carrots and 1 cup broccoli florets to the skillet with pan juices, toss to coat, and roast for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
