Ingredients

• 6 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp chipotle chili powder
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium red onion, sliced into thick wedges
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth and glossy.
2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in chicken thighs on a large rimmed sheet pan. Arrange 3 peeled and chunked carrots, 1 large diced red bell pepper, 1 sliced red onion, and 1 medium sliced zucchini evenly around the chicken. Brush the chipotle honey glaze generously over the chicken and vegetables.
3. Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and vegetables are tender and caramelized. Serve immediately.
