Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb diced potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and 1 tsp dried thyme; spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Pat 12 oz chicken thighs dry, then brush with half the honey mixture.
  3. Step 3: Roast potatoes for 20 minutes, then flip and add chicken thighs to the sheet pan. Brush remaining honey mixture over chicken. Continue roasting for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and potatoes are golden and crispy.
