Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper with 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (3/4-inch pieces) on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 1.5 lbs skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs on top of the sweet potatoes. Rub the chicken with 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 20-22 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are golden and tender around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and drizzle with 3 tbsp honey and the remaining 2 tbsp sriracha. Let sit for 3 minutes to thicken the glaze before serving.
