Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 3 cloves minced garlic until combined.
Step 2: Place 4 chicken thighs skin-side up and 3 cups broccoli florets on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over broccoli and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Brush the soy-sesame mixture evenly over the chicken thighs and broccoli, reserving 2 tbsp for basting.
Step 4: Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, then baste chicken and broccoli with reserved sauce and continue roasting for 10-15 minutes more until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and skin is crispy.
Step 5: Remove from oven, sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over everything, and serve immediately.
