Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes until combined and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs on a large rimmed sheet pan and arrange 4 cups broccoli florets around them. Pour the honey-soy glaze evenly over the chicken and broccoli, tossing the broccoli gently to coat.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and the broccoli is tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from oven and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the dish before serving.
