Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 1.5 lbs chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika.
Step 2: Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (1-inch) with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a large sheet pan.
Step 3: Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on the sweet potatoes, pressing gently to ensure even contact with the pan.
Step 4: Whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika in a small bowl. Drizzle evenly over chicken and vegetables.
Step 5: Roast for 35 minutes, turning chicken halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and sweet potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
