Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs, skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 large, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1, sliced into wedges lemon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 large peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet; spread in a single layer.
- Step 2: Pat 1.5 lbs skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place thighs skin-side up on the sweet potatoes.
- Step 3: Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping thighs halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and sweet potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Step 4: Transfer chicken and sweet potatoes to a plate, tenting loosely with foil. Squeeze 1 lemon wedges over the top and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
