Ingredients
Chicken and Potatoes
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in the baking dish and toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange Chicken: Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up among the potatoes in the baking dish to ensure even cooking.
- Make Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and paprika until well combined.
- Coat Chicken and Potatoes: Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken thighs and potatoes, making sure everything is well glazed.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/75°C) and the skin is golden brown.
- Optional Broil for Crispiness: For a crispier skin, broil the chicken for an additional 2 to 3 minutes at the end of cooking while watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Final Touch: Spoon the pan sauce over the chicken and potatoes before serving to add extra flavor and moisture.
Notes
- For crispier chicken skin, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Flip potatoes halfway through baking for more even browning.
- Serve with a green vegetable or simple salad to balance the meal.
