Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes until combined and fragrant.
- Step 2: Pat dry 6 bone-in chicken thighs and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place chicken on the sheet pan spaced evenly.
- Step 3: Toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 3 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange broccoli around the chicken on the sheet pan.
- Step 4: Brush half of the honey-garlic sauce over the chicken thighs and drizzle some over the broccoli. Roast for 25 minutes.
- Step 5: Remove the pan from the oven and brush the chicken with the remaining honey-garlic sauce. Roast for an additional 10 minutes until the chicken skin is caramelized and broccoli edges are crisp-tender.
