Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 4 minced garlic cloves until combined.

  4. Step 4: Arrange the marinated chicken thighs among the vegetables on the baking sheet, spooning any excess marinade over the top.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender with slightly crisp edges.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
