Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: Toss potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried rosemary. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 25 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. Step 3: Brush half the honey-mustard mixture over chicken thighs. Place thighs skin-side up on a separate baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 25 minutes until golden and juices run clear (internal temperature 165°F).
  4. Step 4: Brush remaining honey-mustard glaze over chicken and return to oven for 5 minutes to caramelize.
  5. Step 5: Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving with roasted potatoes, drizzling with pan juices.
