Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tsp sesame oil until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in chicken thighs in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Step 3: Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on a large rimmed sheet pan. Around the chicken, spread 4 cups broccoli florets and 3 medium carrots cut into 1/2-inch sticks.
  4. Step 4: Pour the honey-soy glaze evenly over chicken and vegetables, gently tossing vegetables to coat but leaving chicken skin exposed.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender with slightly charred edges.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
