Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 3 medium carrots, 2 medium parsnips, and 1 medium red onion wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and fresh thyme sprigs on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes until caramelized and tender.
Step 2: Meanwhile, season 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 6-7 minutes until skin is crisp and golden. Flip and cook 5 more minutes to brown the other side.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium, add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Stir in 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Cook for 3-4 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chicken until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
Step 6: Serve the honey-garlic glazed chicken thighs alongside the roasted vegetables.
