Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for chicken)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for vegetables)
  • Salt and 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, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until combined.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Lightly coat the chicken with cornstarch on both sides.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  6. Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on one half of the pan, leaving space between pieces.
  7. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the other half of the pan.
  8. Brush the honey garlic sauce generously over the chicken thighs and drizzle some over the veggies.
  9. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy, and the veggies are tender and caramelized.
  10. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispy chicken skin, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry thoroughly to ensure crispy skin. Cornstarch coating helps crispiness and sauce adherence. Use high heat (425°F) for best roasting results. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Broil briefly at the end for extra crispiness if desired. Reheat leftovers in oven or skillet to maintain crisp skin; avoid microwaving.
