Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger until combined and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in chicken thighs on a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the chicken thighs and season evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Brush the honey-soy glaze all over the chicken thighs.
  3. Step 3: Toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt, spreading them around the chicken on the sheet pan. Roast everything in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning broccoli halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and broccoli edges are crispy.
  4. Step 4: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over the chicken and broccoli. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
