Ingredients
- 6 pieces (about 2 lbs) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp, grated fresh ginger
- 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 medium, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices carrot
- 1 large, cut into 1-inch pieces red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 stalks, sliced thin on the diagonal green onions
- 1/2 tsp, freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sesame oil until well blended.
- Step 2: Add 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Step 3: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on one half of the pan.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, toss 2 cups broccoli florets, 2 peeled and sliced carrots, and 1 large chopped red bell pepper with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly on the other half of the sheet pan.
- Step 5: Roast the chicken and vegetables for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
- Step 6: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 sliced green onions over the entire pan. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm with steamed rice or noodles.
