A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring crispy chicken thighs roasted with a sticky honey garlic glaze and tender vegetables, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  • 1 cup (120g) baby carrots
  • 1 cup (150g) broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange chicken thighs skin side up, spaced out for air circulation.
  5. Toss baby carrots, broccoli florets, and sliced red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly around the chicken on the pan.
  6. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables, coating but avoiding pooling.
  7. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, baste the chicken and veggies with pan juices.
  8. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispy skin, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  10. Serve immediately, spooning some of the sticky sauce over the top.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry for crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Baste halfway through cooking for extra flavor and moisture. Optional broil step adds crispiness but watch closely to prevent burning. Use tamari for gluten-free version. Reduce honey or substitute maple syrup for lower sugar.
