Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 4 minced garlic cloves until combined and fragrant.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss 2 large peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme until evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange the sweet potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Place 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs skin side up on top of the sweet potatoes.
Step 4: Brush the orange glaze evenly over the chicken thighs and sweet potatoes. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, basting with extra glaze halfway through, until chicken skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F and sweet potatoes are tender.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
