Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free tamari if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil until combined.
  3. Lightly season the chicken thighs with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  4. In a large bowl, toss baby carrots, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil until lightly coated.
  5. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Spread the vegetables evenly around the chicken, ensuring not to overcrowd.
  6. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables, coating well.
  7. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy, and the vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  8. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish before serving if desired.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting and crisping. Pat chicken dry before seasoning to help crisp the skin. Watch garlic closely to prevent burning; reduce oven temperature or cover loosely with foil if needed. Let chicken rest after roasting to lock in juices. Optional broil step adds extra crispiness. Use gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free diet. Skinless chicken breasts can be used but watch cooking time to avoid drying out.
