Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 700 g)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced into sticks
  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, quartered (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Allow at least 10 minutes for the oven to reach temperature.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until combined and glossy. Warm honey slightly if too thick.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place skin-side up on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Toss carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, and red onion in the remaining sauce until evenly coated but not drenched. Spread vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet without overcrowding.
  5. Roast chicken and vegetables together for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through (around 15 minutes), baste chicken and veggies with pan juices to keep moist and flavorful.
  6. Optional: For extra crispiness, broil for the last 3-4 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning the sauce.
  7. Remove from oven and let chicken rest on the pan for 5 minutes to seal in juices before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry for crispiness. Use room temperature chicken for even cooking. Baste halfway through roasting to keep moist. Watch broil step carefully to avoid burning. Sauce can be simmered to thicken while chicken rests. Avoid overcrowding pan for best roasting results.
