Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
Starches:
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
Seasoning and Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant honey garlic glaze by whisking together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper until thoroughly blended.
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C), preparing a large baking sheet for roasting.
- Meticulously coat chicken thighs with half of the prepared glaze, ensuring an even, glistening layer covers each piece.
- Transfer seasoned chicken to the baking sheet, positioning them strategically for optimal heat circulation.
- Toss potato cubes in the remaining glaze, massaging the mixture to guarantee complete flavor absorption.
- Distribute potato cubes around the chicken, creating a harmonious arrangement that allows for even cooking.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the chicken and potatoes to roast for 35-40 minutes.
- Midway through cooking, gently rotate and toss the potatoes to promote uniform browning and crisp edges.
- Verify chicken doneness by confirming an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and potatoes’ tender texture.
- Remove from oven and let the dish rest momentarily, allowing flavors to settle and juices to redistribute.
- Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the golden-brown chicken and potatoes for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve immediately, presenting a mouth-watering one-pan meal bursting with aromatic honey garlic essence.
Notes
- Marinate chicken thighs for deeper flavor by letting them sit in the honey garlic glaze for 30 minutes before baking.
- Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for juicier meat and extra crispy skin during roasting.
- For a low-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower or Brussels sprouts to reduce starch content.
- Ensure even cooking by cutting potato cubes into uniform sizes, preventing some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
