Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth.
Step 2: Place 6 bone-in chicken thighs on a rimmed sheet pan and brush both sides generously with the honey-lime mixture. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F and skin is caramelized.
Step 3: While chicken roasts, combine 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed black beans with 1/4 cup chopped red onion and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and toss.
Step 4: Serve the roasted chicken thighs alongside the black bean salad, spooning any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
