Ingredients
- 6 pieces (about 2 lbs) bone-in chicken thighs
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp, grated ginger
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp (optional) red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 3 tbsp olive oil until well combined.
- Step 2: Place 6 bone-in chicken thighs and 4 cups broccoli florets on a large rimmed sheet pan. Pour the honey-soy mixture over the chicken and broccoli, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. Spread out in a single layer.
- Step 3: Season with 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the chicken skin is caramelized and broccoli edges are slightly crisp, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Step 4: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly on the pan, perfect for drizzling over the chicken and broccoli.
