A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and baby potatoes roasted together on one sheet pan with a sticky honey garlic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) honey
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional smoked paprika or chili flakes.
  3. Toss chicken thighs and halved baby potatoes in the marinade until evenly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes if time allows.
  4. Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on a rimmed sheet pan, spaced apart. Scatter potatoes around the chicken, cut side down. Pour any remaining marinade over everything.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes and baste the chicken with pan juices.
  6. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until chicken skin is golden and crisp and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra caramelization, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before marinating for extra crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming. Flip potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning. If garlic browns too fast, lower oven temperature or cover loosely with foil halfway through roasting. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
