Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 2 cups, halved brussels sprouts
- 1 medium, cut into wedges red onion
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tbsp olive oil to make a glaze.
