Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season evenly with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder. Toss 1.5 lbs chicken thighs with 1 tbsp olive oil in a large bowl until coated.
  2. Step 2: Dice 1 lb red potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes while preparing chicken.
  3. Step 3: Whisk honey, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp water in a small bowl until smooth. After 20 minutes, remove potatoes from oven, add chicken thighs to the same baking sheet, and brush with honey glaze. Roast for another 20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh dill, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with potatoes.
