Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds / 900g)
  • ⅓ cup (113g) raw or pure honey
  • 4 cloves fresh minced garlic
  • ¼ cup (60ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 8 ounces (225g) trimmed green beans
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional grated ginger or chili flakes. Set aside.
  3. Wash and halve baby potatoes. Trim green beans and slice red onion thinly. Toss all vegetables in 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place chicken skin-side up on a sheet pan, spaced evenly.
  5. Arrange vegetables around the chicken in a single layer on the sheet pan.
  6. Drizzle half of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken thighs, coating the skin but avoiding the veggies.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  8. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Flip the chicken thighs over carefully using tongs, then toss the veggies gently to turn.
  9. Drizzle the remaining honey garlic sauce over the veggies and flip the chicken skin-side up again.
  10. Return to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and veggies are tender and caramelized.
  11. Let rest for 5 minutes once out of the oven to allow juices to redistribute and glaze to set.
  12. Serve warm straight from the pan or transfer to a platter.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before roasting for best crispiness. Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for juiciness and flavor. Add honey garlic sauce in two stages to prevent burning and ensure caramelization. Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan for even cooking. Optional 1-2 minute broil at the end can enhance crispiness. Sauce and veggies can be prepped ahead and refrigerated separately.
