Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 12 oz baby carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet; roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 4 bone-in chicken thighs with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5 minutes until golden and crisp, then flip and cook 3 minutes more.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme. Pour glaze over chicken in skillet.
  4. Step 4: Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 12 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and glaze thickens slightly, spooning glaze over chicken halfway through cooking.
  5. Step 5: Serve the honey-garlic glazed chicken alongside the roasted baby carrots, spooning any extra pan sauce over top.
