A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring crispy honey garlic chicken thighs and perfectly roasted veggies, all cooked together for minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 large carrots, cut into sticks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh lemon juice, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes, carrot sticks, and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
  5. Spread the veggies evenly on a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer. Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up among the veggies.
  6. Brush the chicken skin and exposed parts of the veggies with about two-thirds of the honey garlic sauce, reserving the rest.
  7. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. At 15 minutes, baste the chicken with the reserved sauce.
  8. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), with golden, crisp skin and tender veggies with browned edges.
  9. Remove from oven and drizzle fresh lemon juice over everything.
  10. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry for crispiness. Baste chicken halfway through cooking to prevent sauce burning. Use parchment paper or silicone baking mat for easier cleanup. Broil 2-3 minutes at the end if more crispiness is desired. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming veggies.
