Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 1.5 lbs chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme in a small bowl.
  3. Step 3: Toss 1 lb quartered baby potatoes and 12 oz sliced carrots with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a sheet pan. Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on top of vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Brush the honey-soy mixture evenly over chicken thighs. Roast for 25 minutes, then flip chicken and spoon pan juices over the tops, continuing to roast for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and skin is golden-brown and crisp.
  5. Step 5: Rest chicken for 5 minutes before serving with roasted vegetables and pan juices.
